  1. Have you seen any of these caterpillars in your garden?  They are around at the moment.

    Black, hairy caterpillar with an orangy/red line running down the centre of its body.

    These little creatures will become the white ermine moth often seen around the garden.

  2. A free packet of seeds from a magazine has grown this beauty.  Currently standing about 3 foot high its now full of trumpet flowers.  It belongs to the mallow family and is very similar to a lavatera.  I've grown it as an annual.
