These flowers are the best of the worst. Every day it is very easy for me to find pictures of beautiful flowers on Twitter/X and it is very easy to find pictures of ugly flowers on #Mastodon using the hashtags #flowers or #bloomscrolling, but it is very hard to find beautiful flowers on #Mastodon. #DoBetterPeople

Juhannustaikoihin yleisimmin käytetyt luonnonkukat kukkivat jo. Kerätkää isoja kimppuja lupiinia, ennen kuin se siementää, tai repikää juurineen pois. Lupiini on Suomessa haitallinen vieraslaji.

The wild flowers most commonly used for Midsummer magic are already blooming. Collect large bunches of lupine before it sets seed, or tear it up by the roots. Lupine is a harmful alien species in Finland.

Started with a couple of plants & after a couple of seasons I now have butterfly weed (Asclepias tuberosa) growing throughout my garden. Such brilliant orange flowers. Can't wait till they start opening.

Am having an argument with a female blackbird... it plunders my strawberries sneaking
i under
the net! Which being old has some gaps.

Feels like it waits for me to show up , gets in through a hole and pecks away, as I approach it goes in and exits by another hole... grrr...

Maybe does it for fun as I left a few plants outside and she just won't have them...

Had one hour trimming session under rain and wind, going carefully around marsh lillies and marsh orchids, and not very close to the ground to avoid chopping frogs and toads.

Yesterday heard, clearly, a toad. In aa few days I'll trim it some more.
