Better late than never!
I’ve been squashing greenfly by hand on the back rose every morning for the past fortnight … hopefully, this little creature is only the first of many to produce larvae that will keep the pests under control.
And, somewhat later, a pond pic. The white iris has opened, and there are waterliles, bulrushes, and monkeyflower (formerly Mimulus, now re-branded as Erythranthe). Damselflies are flitting about, and the water from the pump is making pleasant plashing sounds.
