I like the #flowers of this #plant but it is growing out of a gap in #concrete by the porch and garage. I think it must have propagated from a neighbour’s #garden many years ago. I tried to take a cutting and plant it in some soil in the back garden but it withered away. Evidently, it only likes rocky conditions. Can anybody tell me the species?
Our immediate neighbour, who moved in a year ago or so, keeps #bees. Sometimes, they swarm in our #garden. I don’t think there’s any danger but I think it’s wise to keep a safe distance from them. They eventually disperse on their daily foraging. Here, they’ve commandeered the #vine#plant.
A walk in the woods. The forest along the C&O Canal National Park at Great Falls is a mix of new and old growth trees. I was amazed at how large many of the trees are along the Gold Mine Loop Trail. We saw three white tailed deer, a few birds and somewhere in the distance the hollow sound of a Pileated Woodpecker hammering against a tree echoed across the forest.
