🌿☕ With very many thanks to @[email protected] for opening the door for me to happily walk through every year - 4th year now and seeing things like this in my lawn fills me with joy 💃 #NoMowMay just very lovely really 🌿 #bloomscrolling #nature #gardening
After taking part in the “No Mow May” initiative launched by the German Garden Society, these magnificent oxeye daisies suddenly appeared — without planting, watering, or any special effort. Just sunlight, patience, and nature reclaiming a corner of the garden. A perfect reminder that sometimes the most beautiful things happen when humans simply step aside for a while.

The first of this year's oxeye daisies has suddenly appeared in the wild garden today.

... found in the village ... imagine an intensive scent of lilacs and violets with a hint of honey and vanilla. Hesperis matronalis, Dame's Rockets.

Crimson clover and phacelia green manures being left to flower. Their beautiful flowers, phacelia in particular are much loved by bees. #Gardening #NoMowMay #LetItBloomJune
Spent the day gardening and #lordpercival managed to escape the house in order to come out and supervise. He was not put off by the wet grass of my #nomowmay front yard. Content to lick rain off the blades! #cats #catsofMastodon #catsofFediverse #tuxedocat
I'm trying to do no mow May, but I suddenly remembered that when I did it a few years ago the dog ended up with ticks. Should I be worried given that foxes regularly visit my garden? #NoMowMay #Ticks

Two favourites: Anthoxanthum odoratum (Sweet vernal grass with heavenly smell of fresh hay) and Holcus lanatus (with its beautiful German name Wolliges Honiggras, "wooly honey-grass").

If you can, why don't you take the time to take a super close look at grass flowers? They can be absolutely stunning! 🌾

What's your favourite grass, I want to know! Everybody should have one! 😍
