They litter our lawn in the spring, and are so pretty close up. Thanks!

Thank you. It's always hard to know if anyone else likes this litter. In my sense of aestheticism, the best things in lawn are weed. But then I love drizzle and grey skies too, which people don't generally fly to, to experience.

Very beautiful, and the bees love them too. There are some weeds it's quite hard to love - docks, for example - but not these.

Please tell more about docks, Lucy, and why they're hard to love. Is it the way their roots don't keep to themselves? Do you eat your docks? Sorrel is delicious, and some docks have such romantic histories. Fancy being able to buy butter wrapped in leaves, rather than squirted into a plastic box. But do tell. I was going to ask you to take pictures of them, now that spring has come, but I realised that I can't. Your spring is holidaying here! But now that it's your autumn, perhaps you have some pictures you've preserved?
