This is worth photographing: it's a new hawkweed popped open today - but it's on a very, very short stem, no more than one inch long.
An adaptation to hostile circumstances. How to flower even though a mower keeps on chopping off your head.
Charles Darwin would have been proud of this clever little survivor

Over <<<<<< in the wild flower garden (
) a new inhabitant has infiltrated
. Watched it develop and couldn't identify it until today when the buds began to show that it would be a yellow flower.
It's a Common St John's Wort which is ever so good for depression, anxiety and suchlike afflictions.
Another bird-gift obviously and will be put to good use .........

congrats on your SJW. A word of warning. Once established they are difficult to discourage. As long as it is where it is meant to be all should be fine.

The St. J's wort flowered yesterday. The bright yellow flower is just like a small 'rose of sharon'. Bees and hover flies like it

I noticed today that my Elder tree is blossoming again on some branches while there are nearly ripe berries on other parts. Rather strange I thought

Elder tree - know what you mean, Jacksparrow. I have a pyrawotsit doing exactly the same thing right now.
I have a bit of a hangup with elder I'm afraid - had terrible trouble once with an infestation of elder which was coming in under the dividing fence. Very difficult to eradicate.
Birds love it though
