life on the hill (V)


A sample of wildflowers up on the Hill, and a troika of tame ones for good measure, all taking advantage of the overnight change in conditions typical of this fickle season.

I’m ashamed to say I can’t identify them at all (must try to find some reliable field guide). 

Later on there will be one I can identify – a poppy, always appearing in the same place on the plot. But just the one, alas, so not enough to make a start on any kind of profitable industry. For the moment, Afghan warlords can sleep easy in the knowledge that no competition for their honest livelihood is about to come from the Hill.

But one lives in hope.
