This first is my lovely mystery flower.
I first saw it (single specimen) when I was on one of my trial walks... still very wobbly and dizzy. When I went back to get a photograph of it - it had disappeared. I was seriously thinking I had dreamed (or hallucinated) it - but then I realised that someone had grazed a herd of goats over the land and they had eaten everything apart from the prickly stuff. Anyway on Thursday I finally spotted another plant.
From above it looks like not very much, the original plant I saw was not so yellow but the actual flowers are really pretty.
Also found what looks like a young plant just growing.
This is another pretty flower that grows in quite large clumps, just tiny little pink petals showing among the grey....
... and some more.....
On Thursday I saw one of these seedheads, with 5 bees arranged on it as if they were mimicking petals - of course I didn't have my camera that day! It must have some really sweet stuff.
and here is Trot.
She comes with us for most of our walks and I give her breakfast most days. I call her Trot because I was reading David Copperfield when she first turned up, and because she moves in trot all the time.... and tells us to "hurrrrrahhurrah hurry" all the way home.
