The Garden Day 6
"I know a bank where the wild thyme grows….. " Oberon A Midsummer Night's Dream: Act 2, Scene 1
Well maybe not wild thyme but I do have beds of thyme in the garden planted where it is impossible not to tread on them….my garden is a garden full of scents
Today Bindi wears Nine9Style, Mio and a Phantomdolls hat
One of my raised bed covering failed over the winter so by the time spring came the SIP bed was a pool. The only thing you can do is take the soil out and let the sun dry it out.
Feasting on Thyme. Volucella inanis.
The adults reach 15–17 mm (0.59–0.67 in) long and can be encountered from early July to early September, feeding on flowers of various species such as yarrow (Achillea millefolium), dill (Anethum graveolens), heather (Erica species), thistles (genera Carduus, Cirsium, and Onopordum) and Buddleja davidii.
They have three yellow bands on an otherwise black abdomen and thus closely resemble wasps in a form of mimicry. The first two bands are completely or partially interrupted by a black wedge. The head has feather-like antennae and the wings have darkened patches in the middle and on the tip.
The female lays eggs in the nests of social wasps and hornets (Vespa crabro, Vespula germanica, etc.). The larvae of this hoverfly are ectoparasites of larvae of the wasps.

It's been a while since I posted a round of fire escape pictures, so this seemed like a good opportunity. Especially since I wasn't in the mood to brave the river that my street had become.
"Oh, the summer time is comin',
And the trees are sweetly bloomin';
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
I will build my love a tower
Near yon cool crystal fountain;
And on it I will place
All the flowers of the mountain.
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
If my true love she were gone,
I would surely find another
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
Oh, the summer time is comin',
And the trees are sweetly bloomin',
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?
And we'll all go together,
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the bloomin' heather.
Will ye go lassie go?"
