This one is full of wonderful things: Willpar's famous carpark !!
The first primula shot is very interesting - the pink/mauve type is much less common than the usual pale yellow, and at the end is quite a bright one.
Rosemary flowering - that's lovely. A herb I always found too strong for me.
Best of all is the wood anemone :clap:
and a Devonshire bee: she knows where to go, right in the heart of a pot marigold :laugh:
Lovely stuff, Willpar - Spring is sprung.

Thank you placi. Certainly coming to life around the lanes. Did not know it was a wood anemone, was on a grass verge by the road. I happen to look over the low wall and the garden was full of them. I like the smell of the herb, I always scrunch the leaves when I go by and smell my hand. Was lucky with the pot marigold and the bee, though I did think it may have been a hoverfly. I am a bit surprised that I still have the waggies, one of them has usually gone by now. Never seen them yesterday with all the rain, and a no show this morning with more rain.

What a lot of colour !! :) Hyacinth (bluebell) about a fortnight ahead of mine. I thought the pairing of the ladybird and bee was very good luck. Lovely shot.
Brain fungus, but no idea about the green one. And I can't stand Euphorbia - just about my least favourite, which is silly but I simply don't like them.
I knew there would be an escaped Triffid sooner or later - it was in the paper last week :eek: :eek: :eek:
Cheery vid, Willpar :yes:

Thank you placi. The fungus are the same, they were next to each other, just that the green one has algae on it that made it sort of interesting. That Euphorbia the pink one with large leaves? is quite common around here. If the triffid leans over more than it will probably get hit by a car. I would stake it into the wall. But will keep and eye on its. Has flower buds I noticed.

Thank you Jacksparrow. The fungi was rowing on a hay bale. There were two there to try and stop people walking where they are not supposed to.

I did look it up after Placi. Though I agree it is not much to look at.
