Botanical Garden

How many kinds of sweet flowers grow
In an English Irish country suburban garden?
I'll tell you now of some that I know
And those that I miss you'll surely pardon..

These are all wild flowers, often considered to be weeds, but I like having them in my garden!

#Bumblebee nest sites include old rodent burrows, leaf piles, timber piles, compost heaps, hollows in trees, tall grass, under/in sheds and even birds nests so be #considerate of this if/when working in your #garden!

Flower is Bush Vetch by the way - a particular favourite of ginger-haired Common Carder #bumblebees.

A legume - pea/clover family to you and me - Bush Vetch likes to have a bit of a scramble (up to a metre tall) whilst fixing nitrogen (so good for your #soil too!). Flowers spring to autumn.
