The garden is so busy. The kōwhai flowers herald the start of the tūī wars. Up to 30 tūī at a time cluster in the tree, vying for the best nectar. Replenished, they engage in noisy aerial battles and high-speed chases through the neighbour's giant puriri trees. Meanwhile, pīwakawaka flit and swoop in the lower branches and shrubs, and a pair of eastern rosella's brighten the lawn as they snip the heads off tiny daisies. Little kōtare watches from the washing line. #Spring #InMyGarden #Aotearoa
I’d given up waiting for Small Tortoiseshell butterflies to visit #InMyGarden - assuming the locals had been wiped out. There are much reduced numbers in many places in UK. So this specimen appearing yesterday gave me great joy.

Popped out for a mangetout snack & found someone else doing the same.
This wee mouse was having a good look around before snaffling a pod (might have been from the adjacent sweet peas) and taking it away to it’s nest (I assume).
I was trying not to startle it so photo was best I could do.
Happy.

So 1003 people came through my garden today as part of the West Seattle Garden Tour. It was an absolute blast. Met tons of fantastic people, plant geeks, artists, and just wonderful souls. #gardening #GardeningMastodon #bloomScrolling #PNW #inmygarden
