Sunday 10 August

We went on to the lower burgh this morning, Meg ran herself silly chasing everything that moved.

I have been waiting for the Melilot seeds to start ripening to add to my wild patch if they will grow.

These are Tall Melilot and to me the best way to ensure the species, as Ribbed Melilot is too much like it's cousin, Tall has black ripe seeds and ribbed has brown, as the kids say today "simple".

 The first photo was taken with flash 

 Tall Melilot - Melilotus altissima

This one was taken in natural light

Text book: nice and black.
