It's always worth having some muscari in a window box just to observe hairy-footed flower bees from the comfort of your own home... 👀

Just hoping the hairy-footed flower bee I saw yesterday is hunkered down against the rain today 😬

The WWF is running an ad on the radio calling for us to "get your daily dose of nature". It's a Scottish voice, and all I hear is "get your daily dose of Nietzsche...!" 🤣 So today, my daily dose is "The world is beautiful but has a disease called man".
