You'll re-bumblebee when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of #stonecrop
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we fly in fields of gold 🐝

(Smells unpleasant, but it's such an eye-catcher in my raised bed)

Nature shows its mettle at the old steelworks https://www.theguardian.com/environment/article/2024/jul/15/country-diary-nature-shows-its-mettle-at-the-old-steelworks

"#Ravenscraig: A place once of coke ovens and cooling towers is now enlivened with #orchids and #stonecrop, and swards of grasses... once the site of the largest #steelworks in Europe, which was closed and demolished more than 30 years ago... Mosses cover cracked concrete foundations, enlivened by beautiful, almost luminescent clumps of #BitingStonecrop. Everything is muted by #birches and #mosses and grasses"
