Proud to have worked @NationalGardenScheme @PerennialGRBS @TheQNI & @GardenTags, hence the planty/gardeny/landscapy/charity bias. Less worky Rae is @OpenedEar.

Stanley Spencer recorded in his 1938 Desk Diary that he began 'Magnolias,' in March of that year. On 5th April 1938, he wrote to his dealer Dudley Tooth saying that the painting was 'as good as anything I have done.'

This paperweight, made of haematite carved in the shape of a grasshopper, looks pretty modern. But it was hand-carved between 1800-1700 BC, in ancient Babylonia (in modern-day Iraq).

“When a bee-master dies, funeral biscuits soaked in wine are put in front of the hives so the bees may partake of their master’s funeral feast.” An old English custom, if the bees are not told thus, they will leave or die, which would spell disaster. #BookWormSat #FolkloreSunday

Probably one of the most 'alien-like' species, the ribbon worm spits a living, tree-like proboscis to hunt it prey
