Hi Diane - wonderful ... I can come back and check often to learn as I go, so to speak. Once I'm through my clearing out - I'm going to get reference books and nature notes out ... so I can increase my learning as we're let loose. I need to find out some names for the plants along the seafront ... enjoy this week's walks ... you always capture brilliant things for us to see - all the best Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilary for the comment. I am really happy how this page has progressed and I am hoping that there will be more flowers that I find in July, August and September to add. I am more than surprised how many I have already discovered. Seafront plants should be interesting. Take care Diane
