This is called *orange marmalade* & is one of the hedgerowing plants I have on the footpath. This is its 1st flowering.

Just lovely.

I do. Have you never had the wilburs?

I guess so since it’s the same thing ....... but I’ve never heard it called wilburs! I like it!

Is it a more formal way of saying the willies?

I love Grevilleas. That will bring the nectar feeders in!

First it was Morrigu...

Then Ha'penny & Aoife came to supervise but obviously I can't be trusted to do anything properly on my own! Morrigu, Patricia, Wrold & Mhari felt I needed some help.

Yep. They know the new feed bag when they see it & were anxiously pooling round my feet while I figured out which bit of the thread to pull & upend it all into our big blue bin. I live in terror of losing control of one of those heavy bags & drowning a chicken in crumble!

Even Luna felt the need to help me out.

What a bunch of cuties!

Yes ~ but planted for the native bees. We have a bunch of different grevillias & they have flowered one after another ~ which is terrific as that ensures a steady food supply for both birds & bees.

I think so. But they are all rather naughty.

In this version, Arthur was originally betrothed to Ceinwyn, the Star of Powys. He dumps her for Guinevere. I'm thinking I may use the name for a future hen.

I think I need to reread & refresh my memory.

How lovely did you say it's for your bees ?

I honestly don't know where it came from but we definitely use it to convey that feeling!
