On Saturday I paid another visit to Mount Usher and although it was a flying visit I did spend time to watch a tortoiseshell butterfly sipping nectar from wild flowers in some long grass. I shot into the light so they are not the best portraits of butterflies but I liked the light.
Back to some real gardening tomorrow with a few tomatoes picked and tasted including this one – yes this IS how it is supposed to look…

Are those lobes or individual tomatoes? Really interesting!
they are lobes of tomatoes. the fruits are really variable – while a tomato usually has two or three locules or segments and a beefsteak has more, this one has fruits that are made up of many distinct segments that can be snapped off. A very odd thing – and more in tomorrow’s post in eight hours 🙂
That’s really fascinating. And I won’t ask any more questions until tomorrow!
lol – good night from here and good afternoon there 🙂
