Common, though scarce
Monday, August 10, 2020
The allotment has been a haven of activity and productivity, leading to hours in the kitchen trying to put it all to good use. I'll have to do another allotment catch-up, it's been maybe 2 months?!
Here's some pictures from the weekend. Above a brimstone butterfly. They just remind me of cabbage leaves.
A dragonfly a-posing.
Scabious.
Above, common centuary, though it's not common to see this at all, I only know of two locations where I've seen a teeny patch.
Below, greater knapweed. I don't see much of this either.
A hidden mallow and the picture doesn't help identify it, but it was a pale pink so I wondered if it were different.
I think the above is viper's bugloss but I'm unsure.
Below, green veined white? I've seen so many white butterflies, they are everywhere. I'm very concerned that I've not seen a single painted lady at all this year, not one. Have you?
Take care,
Sophie
