A lot of people asked what this plant above is - one even asked why I had put foam rubber on top of a stick. It is of course the seedhead from last year's bulrushes, which the birds, especially goldfinches, use for nest-building.
One commented on the amsonia, above, as the most unusual plant in the village. Another plantaholic. Unfortunately a second one did not survive the winter.
A tiny hosta, hosta venusta, sitting next to a fivepenny piece. (That reminds me of a 1960s folk group). No flowers yet.
And finally, a little girl was looking for a fairy flag. She beautifully translated the elvish writing on this himalayan prayer flag. If the family are reading this, let me know where the idea came from and went to!
