It's all over this area at this time of year, but Tansy Ragwort is apparently toxic to cattle, horses and sheep. It must be a real problem for farmers, but the bees seem to like it.
Yesterday was a disappointing day, so I went out for a long walk to clear my head. Our son Alexander, and his girlfriend, in London, both have Covid - on her birthday too. And it means that Alexander can't come to Scotland to celebrate his dad's 60th next week. They both seem to be ok, and say that it just feels like regular flu. I hope they both get better soon and that we'll see them before the end of the year!
Ragwort is a real problem here FG carries prills around to get rid if it as you certainly don't want it to get away..
Hope your Son and GF get better quick..
Nasty stuff that ragwort. Dad lost some cattle (many years ago now) from ragwort poisoning. He had bought them from a farm that had ragwort, and they died soon after getting off the transport truck.
Hopefully your family get better quickly.
So that's what that yellow flower is called - I have it in my little wildflower meadow in the garden and wondered what its name was! Lovely shot. Nice bokeh
It is a pretty flower, not nice to hear that it's deadly toxic to catlle, horses and sheep.
I hope Alexander and his girlfriend recover swiftly and that their symptoms remain mild.
A lovely capture, ragwort is so dangerous to so many animals but so pretty. Wishing your son and girlfriend a speedy recovery, these things have no respecter of time, we have had it in our family too.
It's a pretty picture for a disappointing day. I'm sorry to hear your son and his girlfriend have the virus, but I know it can be survived so I'm praying for a speedy recovery for them both. Lovely shot.
Lovely photo of the bee on the flowers. I know it's worrisome for you and your husband to know you son and gf have Covid. I hope it doesn't get serious and they are over it soon.
Lovely photo....so many bees here too but all good.
What a shame about your young ones! Especially when they were coming up soon. Hope they soon feel fine again.
I think we're quite fortunate up here as numbers are now so low.
Lovely capture
Hope your Son and GF get better quick..
