Beautiful Karen!

Thank you, Lil!:))
Do you call these 'firebugs'? I'm infested with them but they don't seem to do any harm...

Yes, thankfully! And all over the hollyhocks, malva and blue sage...Quite often 'stuck together', if you know what I mean...
I think they just eat the seeds, though...
That's a hollyhock seedpod it's on

Wow!
Does Gendarme translate to POLIS!!!

31 Aug, 2011

 

Aye! Armed Polis! Not, 'afloat in a dirty big boat!!)' though...
(hope you get this, Scottish...otherwise I'll have to remember more Andy Stewart....)
