I have been so really bad about posting here that it is unfair to expect people to visit when I am being so irregular. So I will stop posting here as from today.
Please pop over to my daily blog and catch up with what I am doing.
Thank you for visiting me here

This is looking down onto one of my tropical plants an 'Ensete Ventricosum - Abbissinian Banana'

I don't believe the aquiligea from yesterday have any scent, they just self seed everywhere! My favourite, mmmmmmmmmmmm, well thats a hard one, in all honesty I'm not sure I could say I have a favorite, I like the challenge of growing them, I like colour but I like unusual too! But if you backed me up to a wall with a gun against my head I would say ......... Rose! Mainly becuase I can't grow them, they get terrible blackspot in my garden!!!! Or Brugmansia becuase of their beautiful flowers and scent, these I can grow!

Number 143, Aquiliga

2007-06-07T06:03:00.000Z

Funnily enough I actually don't like this plant, but I'm always intrigued by the intricate detail of the flowers, each plant is usually different.

I am cat sitting and this beautiful rose is in my neighbours garden. It has the most amazing scent and is so pretty in my favourite colour, I would love to have one.

Last pic for a couple of days. I'm off up to go with my mum to see a specialist then hopefully bring her back here for a week!

Number 131

2007-05-17T06:18:00.000Z

This is hanging over the 6ft fence from my neighbours garden, I have no idea what it is, but I love white in the garden. I must admit that all the colour in my garden is at the insistence of hubby and I suppose he is 'white'!

Number 128, Scarecrow 38

2007-05-14T06:06:00.000Z

The last Scarecrow and I think you will all agree a very suitable one to end on!

Number 112, Scarecrow 22

2007-04-25T06:27:00.000Z

Yesterdays: Well I must admit I was stumped for this one! Going by the theme I thought it was 'The King' Elvis, but knew it was wrong, the face wasn't right! Kathryns boyfriend got it.
Its 'Prince' but how that fits in to the theme of Kings & Queens I don't know!!

Number 111, Scarecrow 21

2007-04-24T04:46:00.000Z

??????????????????

Number 109, Scarecrow 19

2007-04-22T06:33:00.000Z

Yesterdays: Queens Park Rangers! Hrumph!!!!! Is there none I can beat you with?

Number 108, Scarecrow 18

2007-04-21T05:59:00.000Z

This is it, this is the one you won't get!!!!!!! But I worked it out!!!!!!

Yesterday: we thought Dancing Queen too!!

Number 107, Scarecrow 17

2007-04-20T06:12:00.000Z

This isn't the really difficult one but it could be a close second!

Yesterday: We believe as my daughter said in the comments last night, it is the Snow Queen.

Number 106, Scarecrow 16

2007-04-19T06:16:00.000Z

I'm glad you all enjoy this. The closing date for entries is Friday, so I can't use you lot to win!!lol!! I will get all the answers on Saturday and can see how we did/are doing!!!

Yesterdays: Pearly Queen, they always wore brimmed hats, the Pearly Kings wore peaked caps!

I think the little 'red x' is a blogger problem I have tried to re-load but still get it, I have a feeling that this will be an 'X' for awhile as well, cos of the way it loaded!

Number 105, Scarecrow 15

2007-04-18T05:19:00.000Z

There is a scarecrow coming up in 3 days time that even Sheila and Ruth won't get!!!!

Yesterdays: I think we all agree on King Midas!

Only another 23 to go, let me know if your bored and I shall go out again and photograph my world!!!

Number 104, Scarecrow 14

2007-04-17T06:08:00.000Z

He is dressed all in gold!

Yesterdays: well none of us are sure, but I think if I put anything down it would be Sheilas guess 'Stephen Kings Evil Clown'

Number 103, Scarecrow 13

2007-04-16T06:03:00.000Z

I am giving you 2 pics today because they are behind a dirty window and the reflections! Now none of us have any clue as to what this one is, so guess away!!

Its a clown and each hand has three white fingers with red finger nails!

Number 102, Scarecrow 12

2007-04-15T05:47:00.000Z

Not the best pic in the world, the railing was between me and scarecrow, but I'm sure you will still get it!

Yesterdays: We thought Madonna too, but actually put down 'Virgin Queen'! Not sure a primary school would have that sort of answer so I think you are all right!!!!

Number 101, Scarecrow 11

2007-04-14T06:33:00.000Z

Lets see how you do with this!!!!

Yesterdays: we thought King Canute too!!!

Number 100, Scarecrow 10

2007-04-13T06:11:00.000Z

Coo, my 100th photo!!

I'm giving no clues cos your all far too good!!!

Yesterdays: Sheila was right (well we think she was, it was what we guessed) African Queen, well done!

Number 99, Scarecrow 9

2007-04-12T06:10:00.000Z

Now this is hard (well I thought it was!), so some clues, not royalty, the lady (right) has red hair and the guy (left)is pulling!!!! The word King or Queen is in the answer. We stood and looked at this for ages before we got it!!!

Yesterdays: we too thought it was King John!!

Number 98, Scarecrow 8

2007-04-11T05:54:00.000Z

Written on the scroll in his hand is ' Magna Carta 1215' !

Yesterdays, we thought was King Richard the Lionheart!

Number 97 Scarecrow 7

2007-04-10T14:41:00.000Z

Yesterdays was of course King Tut!!!!

Number 96, Scarecrow 6

2007-04-09T06:17:00.000Z

You should all get this one..........

Yesterdays I think we all agree she is from Alice in Wonderland, Queen of Hearts I think!

Number 95, Scarecrow 5

2007-04-08T06:52:00.000Z

Hee, hee!

We thought yesterdays was Queen Bee too!! There quite good aren't they!!! Far better in real life, if I had room I'd invite you all to stay and we could go round together then stop off in the tea garden and have tea and cream scones!!!!

Number 94, Scarecrow 4

2007-04-07T05:11:00.000Z

I haven't the faintest idea what the little elephant is all about in relation to what I guessed, lets see what you think!

Yesterdays scarecrow, like you, hubby and I thought 'King Neptune'. But, and there always is one, K & T thought it was 'King Titan' from 'Little Mermaid', their reasoning, the colour of his tail! Knowing my daughters and how well they know their Disney films, they are probably right!!!!

Number 93, Scarecrow 3

2007-04-06T06:00:00.000Z

I thought this one was good!

Yesterdays, we thought was King Cobra too!

Number 92, Scarecrow 3

2007-04-05T06:07:00.000Z

You will be pleased to hear that the next few are relatively easy!!!

Number 2, couldn't even hazard a guess, really bizzare with blue one, pink one and each having one foot! Initially we where thinking, blue toothbrush, pink toothbrush! But no bristles and each had a foot! The round head made me think 'King Pin' but they don't have feet either. I think we have been beaten on this one, I'll take Kathryn and pick her brain!!!

Number 91, Scarecrow 2

2007-04-04T13:47:00.000Z

I will be honest and say we have no idea what this one is? The last one we believe was 'King Prawn'!! Have fun!

Just a Taster!

2007-03-31T13:52:00.000Z

I went round today and took pics of all the Scarecrows! The theme is

KINGS & QUEENS

they are really hard this year but we think we got some of them. Please remember we do not have the answers!

Number 1,

and is holding a Chinese Menu!

I will give you what I think it is on my return, next week.

Have fun!!!!

Number 90, Fig Leaf

2007-03-31T04:37:00.000Z

A fig leaf emerging!

I am away now visiting my mum, until 4th when I will be starting the Scarecrow Trail! I am off to photograph them all today then we can all have fun guessing!! Have a great weekend everyone :o)

Number 89, Colourful

2007-03-30T06:20:00.000Z

Pieris?!!! Fire bush I think!!!

Number 88, Cockerel in the Garden!!

2007-03-29T06:10:00.000Z

This is in my friends bantam White Sussex Cockerel in her garden. He's lovely isn't he!! She is waiting for one of her hens to go broody so she can hatch a clutch of bought White Sussex eggs, as she wants a full grown Cockerel, as this one is not up to the business!! (He's too small)

Number 87, In the Greenhouse!

2007-03-28T06:05:00.000Z

Since the warmer weather started, this plant has really come on!! Looks so cheerful!!

Number 86, Feeling Better!!

2007-03-27T06:11:00.000Z

I was outside potting stuff up when I turned round and saw this!!!! The door is wide open and he's enjoying the sunshine, although he has had to have a trip to the vets as he had 2 abscess's forming so is now on antibiotics!! So it was as I thought a fight!!

Number 85, Poor Puss Cat!!!

2007-03-26T06:11:00.000Z

Most people who read this blog don't read my main blog so will be unaware of my puss cats misfortune yesterday!!! I am pretty certain he hasn't fallen or slipped, as his back is so muddy and no matter what cats usually stay on their feet, I reckon this was a fight with the blasted feral cat!!!! To find out more pop to the main blog!!!

Number 84, Euphorbia again!!

2007-03-25T06:25:00.000Z

I just so love the colours on this plant and you can see how much it has come on since the last pic.

Number 83, Washing!!!

2007-03-24T08:36:00.000Z

My dark wash hung out nice and early!! When I was a child my mum and her neighbour had this thing (for fun)about who could hang their washing out the earliest! I think its rubbed off on me, I love getting mine out really early, yet no body else round here hangs theres out!! You can't beat the smell of outside, dried washing!!!!!

Number 82, Two tone primrose

2007-03-23T07:15:00.000Z

I spotted this as I went to hang out my washing this morning!

Number 81, Poor Tulip!!

2007-03-22T07:37:00.000Z

I can't believe I was working out in the garden yesterday wearing just a T-shirt!!!

Number 80, Bigger Gunnera Leaf!!

2007-03-21T07:14:00.000Z

Not the best pic in the world but gives you a better idea. This plant grows enormous and to be honest I should never have planted it in my garden! I just loved it, lets hope by the time its taken over the garden I will be dead!!!lol!!!!

Number 79, New Gunnera Leaf

2007-03-20T06:15:00.000Z

Yesterdays pic was indeed part of the Gunnera, well done Ruth! This is another part of it!! I thought it was a new leaf unfurling, but looking at the pic I'm not so sure, so will go and check the real thing later!!!!

Number 78, ?????

2007-03-19T06:54:00.000Z

This is definately down my garden, (I took it Saturday) and not an alien! It is quite ugly really, but the whole plant grows into a magnificent specimen, this is the flower. I wonder if you know what it is?

Some clues: it likes the damp and at this time of year I have to protect it, but it is not a tropical plant. You see lots of them in Cornwall!:o)

Number 77, Do Not Disturb!!!

2007-03-18T07:06:00.000Z

He always sleeps like this! In fact I missed a pic of him yesterday, under the dining room table flat on his back with all his legs in the air!!!! Shows he's relaxed and happy in his enviroment.

Number 76, Rookery!

2007-03-17T06:13:00.000Z

Just down the road from me is where all the crows nest. There are not many nests at the moment and they are also quite low this year! I will take another pic later when there are more nests.

We also have jackdaws round and about. Crows have long vicious looking beaks, jackdaws shorter and they are more grey than the crows. Jackdaws like to nest in chimney pots!!!

Number 75, Euphorbia

2007-03-16T06:10:00.000Z

I love the colours on my Euphorbia, maroon and lime green!!!!

Number 74, Hellabore again!!!!!!

2007-03-15T06:55:00.000Z

When I am short of pics, I just go round the garden clicking and see what turns out the best!! I really love these!! I think its because the pic always turns out!!!!!!

Number 73, Pulmanaria

2007-03-14T07:28:00.000Z

Lungwort as its known, such an ugly name for such a pretty flower!! Plenty of this in my garden!

Number 72, Monkey Puzzle Tree

2007-03-13T06:32:00.000Z

A baby Monkey Puzzle Tree!!!

Number 71, Dawn

2007-03-12T07:04:00.000Z

Taken at 06.20 this morning, sadly the camera does not do this photo any justice! The blue was a most amazing colour, one I have not seen in the sky for ages!

Number 70, More Catkins!

2007-03-11T06:51:00.000Z

Coo! 70 days of 2007 gone already!!!

It never dawned on me that people had never seen a 'catkin', silly of me really! So here is one taken a bit further away!!

Number 69, Catkins

2007-03-10T06:42:00.000Z

Catkins!

Number 68, Walnut Tree!

2007-03-09T05:54:00.000Z

Do you remember this photo taken on the 3rd January?

look at it now....

This happened at the weekend, how sad! Really dry summer, very wet winter and bad winds, a dreadful combination!

I had found out it was a Walnut Tree!

Number 67, Hanging Basket!

2007-03-08T07:18:00.000Z

A hanging basket of flowers for £6.99! Bargain!

Number 66, Skull or Dragon?

2007-03-07T05:43:00.000Z

I wasn't going to post any more pics of this tree, but Tori and I where going through them all and came across this one yesterday. I saw a dragon or eagles head and she saw a skull, but neither of us could see the others view until it's features where pointed out. We found this hilarious, hence another bit of the tree!!

I must admit I really like this tree!

Number 65, Bark or Clay?

2007-03-06T06:29:00.000Z

Same tree, but the outside. The bark on this was amazing, it actually looked like it had been crafted from clay!!!

Number 64, Hollow Tree!

2007-03-05T06:54:00.000Z

Stuck the camera through a gap at the bottom and this is the result!!!

Number 63, What do you see???

2007-03-04T06:55:00.000Z

Tori and I went off to do some pics for her art project, so I nicked some!! So what do you see? Smiling face, monkey???????
