    You have to laugh though, look at us all anxiously waiting for a plant to flower, the same plant most of the rest of the population consider to be a weed! :biggrin:

      Here you go Yvonne, I've dragged this picture out a few times in the past. :) This chimney is attached to a pub in Devon.

                Referring to the above, as of yesterday......In the Wildlife forum I asked if you'd be sniffing the cork as you'd mixed me up with someone else. Looks like it was more than the cork! :heehee:

                    My Buddleia Pink Delight had a good prune and is just showing some buds. Will be a few weeks before they open I reckon.

                    Never get any butterflies on mine though, or very many in the garden either :dunno:

                      very happy to say we do get quite a lot of butterflies in the garden, more last year than ever before, we even had one of those Hummingbird Hawk-Moths drop in for a visit, so amazing looking, they really do look like Hummingbirds from a distance, it had the whole family fooled as we all stood staring at it out the window afraid to venture our incase we scared it off....completely & utterly convinced so we were :oopss: till the penny dropped & we realised there are no Hummingbirds in Ireland :doh:
