wildflowers, jugged


Tomorrow is the day of the brush clearance, so I gathered a whole jugful of wild flowers - sitting, here, on the balcony table at dinner time.  I don't think I can bear the scything of the most beautiful part of the crop, however, and I have some stake-fences and yellow Do Not Cross tape ready to put in place tomorrow.  Surely a three foot by ten foot stretch of wild beauty might pass muster as a deliberate flower bed?  

Alice performed sterling work removing a castor oil tree - Ricinus communis - a fast growing, invasive, poisonous, and thoroughly unpleasant occupant of the wild flower slope.
