No sooner is one task completed than another one is there. Isn't life wonderful?
The trees! So many trees in the February link box. Wonderful posts. Do you find as time goes by it gets interestinger and interestinger?
Next up - Street Plants.
I know it can sometimes feel as if one is lurching from one meme to another; but being aware of urban wild plants is something I would really like you to consider - whether you post about them on your blog or not.
It's astonishing how many there are. Really.
I hitched a lift into Poole last week. 'Hurry, hurry,' said my friends as they got out of their car.
"But. . . look at these!"
"There are only two-and-a-half hours on the ticket and there's lots to do!"
By the time they'd stopped telling me to hurry and locked the car I'd already taken my pictures. I hadn't needed to go anywhere.
Right in front of our noses (or rather, our toes) were plants lined up against the pure white hoarding of a building site where a hotel is being constructed next to a superstore. Front wheels, pavement, plants - all in the shadow-shape of a car-park tree. (Alder?)
You don't need to know what they are. Just see them. There!
So - think about it. The link box for urban wild plants will be open 21st - 25th February.

This sounds like something I'd like to try. I find it really heartwarming to see plants growing where they don't seem to be welcome.

That would be brilliant, Catherine. I hope you do join in. By May /June there will be masses of wild plants in the streets - but there's something special about seeking them out in the winter months (or finding them right there at your feet with no effort as happened for this post).
Trees and street plants are all interesting. Flighty xx
Hello Mike - almost everywhere you look there is something to see.
I love seeing these urban warrior plants!
Hello Donna. The link box for Urban Wild Plant posts is ready to self publish on 21st February - if you would care to add a Street Plant link that would be tremendous.
