Caterpillar

Probably a Buff Tip Moth caterpillar ready to pupate. Time to put it back on the Buddleia.

EDIT Mullein Moth. Thanks for the heads up Alison. More Buddleia to be eaten then.... END EDIT

Bees

My wife suggested we stop cutting the lawn for a few weeks to give the bees some flowers. Worked well!

Around the garden again

Random self seeded poppy

complete with seed heads

Red Admiral on the White Valerian

The Teasle is about to flower

Foxgloves between St Olaves and Fritton

Just noticed them as I was driving by in the rain a week or so ago

In lovely condition

With an occasional Yellow Flag amongst them

But mostly lots of Foxgloves

Bee Orchid in the front paddock

First flower, facing to the north oddly enough...
