Busy insects _ insectes très occupés
|
|
Today i had a look to "my" old abandoned sand quarry. I know that it's always anything to shot. So i found a lot of red small butterflies busy by looking for food on a flower called Echium vulgare ( viperine vulgaire) and other flying insects busy by reproducing the species
does someone know the name of this fly?

Beautiful weeds II - Jolies mauvaises herbes
|
|
Yesterday i was very lucky and had a good feeling. I found a piece of waste ground covered with heaps of ballast. On this place i found a many species of weeds and 3 or four species of very great thistles ( 1,60 meter high), wich will make wonderful flowers i guess. by now i could only shot two bloming thistles but i shall keep watch and shall to be able to show them on the coming days. I saw also geant poppies wich look like asian poppies an many other beautiful wild flowers that are growing there. I saw the most of them for the first time in my life because there are very rare, destroyed by the weedkillers; In the past time, in the forties when my mother was a young girl, people were requisitioned several times in june in order to clean the field with a long knife or special tools. However this way was vey ecological and gave them a chance to survive in an other place. Now i encourage you to visit uncultivated places or waste grounds and bring us pictures of endangered plant species.

Goats beard & cherries - salsifis des prés et premieres cerises
|
|
I see that all people believe see dandelions in my page yesterday. This big fruit or seed ball is the fruit of an Goats beard plant, traduced "Wiesenbocksbart" in german, and "Salsifis des prés" in french. This seed ball is much bigger as the dandelion and has the the size of an orange. Do see flowers and the seed fruit of the "goats beard"
Also today, we eat the first cherries of our tree. On the top of the tree, there are any pop music CD so that the blackbirds can sing any new melodies 
and also End of the poppies story this year: did you never play "procession"  with poppies when you were young kids ?
