Seeing the Changes 110







In spite of the steady rain and cool temperatures, in Bynea, the Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) and Rosebay willowherb (Epilobium augustifolium) are about to burst forth. Common calamint (Calamintha sylvatica), Great mullein (Verbascum thapsus) and the alien (but useful) Butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii) are actually blooming. Common froghopper (Philaenus spumarius) adults are leaping out of their larval skins. In Loughor, the Lords and ladies (Arum maculatum) has large green berries.

The fungus season is also early this year with what might be a Summer bolete ( Boleatus reticulatus ) in my Loughor garden.
