Bye, bye Betty

We had some good weather for the end of Betty's holiday ...

Standing in a sea of chestnuts ...

... with still a few wild flowers around
Lunch in the sun ...
... and barbecue in the evening


Betty in safe hands at the airport

  1. Cannot believe Barbara's mum's visit has passed already. Some lovely pictures and good to see you both. The after the storm view with the mist. I'm a big fan of your wild flower and biodiversity pictures but didn't like the idea of you dispatching the scorpion. I am guessing you can identify all the flowers using their Latin names. I wasn't sure apart from the Scabious and I wanted to call the yellow one Hawkbit. Is the pink one a flax or ? and the other an eyebrite or?

  2. I meant to put names in the caption - We think they are( clockwise): a dianthus, a scabious, a hawkweed/hawkbit/cat's ear (there are hundreds!) and echium.

  3. Ok so vipers bugloss is the only echium I know. I did think of that but I had a scale problem. I don't know the Dianthus. Keep photographing.

  5. Great to see you all looking so well, the flowers in bloom and the wonderful Italian town and countryside. Dark and wet here though we've had some invigorating windy days.
