Today the Stinking Iris buds in my little wild garden came into flower. They are very faded, although new flowerheads. But it is lovely to see them. Also, I keep putting off the pulling up of a huge teasle plant and gigantic thistle which the Goldfinches still visit and eat from every day. All the aquatic plants in my little wild pond are also still growing vigorously – most unusual.
