I've been out all day aslaving in my customer's gardens. Up in Minchinhampton this afternoon, I espied this 4 foot tall Thistle.
The flowers are quite small considering the height of the plant.
Having taken it's picture, I pulled it up. What I can't believe, is how fast it grew. Either that, or my eyesight's going!
It's a -
Marsh Thistle (Cirsium palustre)
Later on, I had come down the hill into Nailsworth, and found this incredible SLUG -
Great Grey Slug (Limax maximus)
. The horrible thing is, that my client had put down a load of slug pellets. Still, at least it meant I saw this critter. Normally, of course, it would be in hiding during the day. This grotesque way, I at least got to see it!Then, on their window, doing what comes naturally, I spotted two spotty moths -
Scarlet Tiger (Callimorpha dominula).
I think they're SPECTACULAR
