This isn't a wee flower, is it? Or is it? ...Zeb is already quite famous on the interwebby - he gets up to lots of tricks does this lovely boy. He belongs next door actually, but I've been spying him relaxing in our front garden, lazing about for awhile now (which is all good - he has a truly lovely presence)...caught him in the act...think he's after birds or butterflies - the white ones would be good to catch, Zeb!
Inheriting a garden is a wonderful thing - mostly - today I was gobsmacked to discover this little patch of autumn crocus growing right at the footpath corner of our driveway - I can't believe I'd NEVER seen it before! Cool.
I really thought we might have our own saffron patch, to be fair, but alas, upon investigation, it appears it is a related-but-not-the-real-deal flower that blooms at the same time, looks about the same but doesn't have those frighteningly-expensive crimson stamens. Nice to see the bees enjoying it and the flowers are rather beautiful.
Turns out if you have Gout or Familial Mediterranean Fever, I might be able to help you out - although, as it is also highly poisonous in the wrong quantities - it might be 'touch and went'!
