They prefer flowers to grass, LIlyp. They do like clover. If you look at the clump of irises, you can see where “someone” ate the leaves before the flower stems started pushing up. I’m still not sure if it was a Hare or a Wallaby. We have a very large Hare here, it’s as big as our friends small dog. It freezes when it sees us, and puts its ears back alonng it’s back and pretends it’s a rock. Makes us laugh when we can see this large brown lump in the wrong place.
Gorgeous photo Alan. They clearly like the Actea flowers
Yes - the hoverfly had a companion too, Liri - but it was round the others side. I like the idea of them being photo bombed
Lovely to see the daffs and spring flowers Pat, as Joyce says. Today is really autumnal here - one of those cool, clear starts, and a bit of welcome sun after the rain. Lots of trees almost leafless, but still plenty of colour on others, and some still to come.
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
Built myself a theater today it will be useful for putting hardy potted plants on during the winter and summer flowering pot plants in the summer. I got the idea from the National trust gardens that I have visited.

That is truly gorgeous, Alan C.
I love that hoverfly in your hydrangea photos, Fairy. It probably thinks it's been photo-bombed by butterflies...
I am cheating a little bit,this was in August,but i just love the colour combinations.
Is there still a seed swapping thread as I will have lots of scabious and rudbeckia to give away.

We‘ve got light misty drizzle this morning. Hoping it’ll be more than that.
Ive photographed the irises before they open in case the Wallaby or Hare cleans them up before they open.?
Lovely photos
Pat are wallabies like big rabbits in that they will eat anything?
Coty I haven't seen the seed thread for ages sorry, maybe someone else will know

Lovely to have a hare Pat but not so good for your plants. Hope you get some flowers.
Cotty - latest thread I can find. http://www.gardenersworld.com/forum/the-potting-shed/seed-and-plant-swap-2016/895135.html
Maybe time to start a 2017 thread.
Fairy and Alan, lovely butterfly pics.
Pat, lovely to see your spring blossom and flowering bulbs as our gardens go into a gradual decline.
Thanks Joyce. I’m getting more aware since I’ve been posting on here.
It IS interesting to note how your changes are the opposite of ours.
