Wow Wendy

They look better already, i wonder why she looks so fed up and angry!! not sure when this photo would have been taken. I know that they were still alive when my Gran and Granddad got married, and that was 1920.  Am I right in saying that is an aspidistra!

Kind regards

Yes, its an aspidistra !


One interesting botanical fact is that they do flower in the wild in Japan, but right down at ground level, where they are pollinated by snails !

Thanks Hippy and Wendy

Perhaps that is why she looks so troubled Wendy....

I am amazed at how much you can do with these photo's, you have all helped me to almost get a family album up together of my ancestor's for which i Will be for ever grateful.

Thank you once again, i  am learning  each time I come on this site.  The snail  is a revelation!!!

Thanks

Have a pair of Thrushes that have been in my garden most of last winter and all through the year so far,  that is where the picture came from in the worst snows this year.

We NEVER see a thrush now.... and at the moment ALL  that comes into the garden are 'Magpies' Pigeons and blackbirds....  the occasional Robin and a few little finches...

Never a sparrow or starling or thrush... .. I do have two cats but I've always had cats and it never stopped the birds before...

ho hum  I am in the midlands.... anyone in this area see Thrushes....Huh

what about you Rabbit???

We seem very lucky
The only birds we do not see many of these days are swallows and swifts
Even got our own regular barn owls feeding on the fields behind us - watch them for hours
