The common name - 'Monkshood' really suits this plant! It is useful as it flowers so late at the back of the border, but it needs plant supports as it tends to flop.

Another wonderful shot. It's different to the Aconites that I've seen before.

I really love the colour and form of this plant. I had some growing in my previous garden, I will put it on my plant list.

Thanks - but Pansy, don't forget how poisonous this is! These also grow up to about 6'.

Gorgeous shot Spritx. This is a wild flower here in the birch groves. I loved their season, such delicate things. I'll have to collect wild flower shots this summer.

REALLY? How wonderful to see them growing wild! Yes, please - I expect a blog on wild flowers in Alaska at some point in the future! :-)

Oh, I must. I really missed out last year. All the cool rain made windflowers very profuse. They were all around an old place I loved, Easy to access that forest. I definately will.

I love the colour of this . I nearl bought one last Friday on a stall in the open air market in Ammanford.
The lady is there every week so I think I will buy it next time.
