Very nice, Peter. So many interesting plants you have. I especially like the spider !! My problem around here is there are so many weed seeds and grasses, everything in s lot of work IF it can be saved.....My daughter planted wildflowers in the field, and they are there, but the weeds took over. 5' high pigweed, velvet leaf, dock, pokeweed. And worse than all is the wiregrass, impossible to stop....unless you kill everything for a couple of years. So.....I cut grass. At least it keeps everything neat. We had an exchange student one year from Germany. He was amused that everyone cut grass in the US, at least once a week. He said they hardly ever see anyone mowing. He showed some photos and the ground was either bare or had some short grasses and weeds. NOT here around me. Meadows that don't get mowed grow into forests in just a few years. Some pines, maples, oaks, wild cherry but what takes over are the gum trees. And now the Bradford Pears....they were imported and were thought to be non producers of seeds, yet they are everywhere. Very invasive.
End of story.....sorry.....LOL!
