The foxgloves we sowed from seed, collected in our garden in England, are just beginning to flower..
And the large red poppies have their very distinctive buds hanging ready to open in a few days..
In the front garden I spotted this Small Copper, the first we've seen this season..
We're not sure whether we should be pleased or not at the next sighting..
These bugs were on the stem of a climbing plant and are about the size of a ladybird. They were accompanied by several ants..
Can anyone advise please?
