Senecio jacobaea et Chamerion angustifolium.
Traditionally today is "Sul y Blodau (Flowering Sunday) the Welsh term for Palm Sunday (the Sunday before Easter Day) when flowers were put on graves in Wales.
On the Saturday before Palm Sunday or Easter Sunday, gravestones at some churches in Wales were cleaned or whitewashed, the graves were tidied, and flowers were planted or strewn on them."
Today however due to Covid Restrictions being eased in Wales we had a socially distanced visit from our son and family outside on the patio. Thankfully the wind and rain had eased off enough to pull the awning out , one that we had installed many years ago attached to our back wall ( in comments)
ENGLISH
Chaenomeles speciosa, the flowering quince, Chinese quince, or Japanese quince (in the context of traditional Chinese medicine known as zhou pi mugua), is a thorny deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub native to eastern Asia. It is taller than another commonly cultivated species, C. japonica, usually growing to about 2 m (6 ft 7 in). The flowers are usually red, but may be white or pink. The fruit is a fragrant but hard pome that resembles a quince.

Dengys tystiolaeth drwy loeren fod lluoedd milwrol Israel wedi chwalu rhan o Fynwent Rhyfel Gasa, safle lle mae beddau milwyr o Brydain, o Awstralia ac o wledydd eraill y gynghrair a fu farw yn y ddau ryfel byd. Gwelir bod peiriannau trwm wedi rhwygo drwy'r rhannau wedi eu dynodi fel mannau claddu a choffáu, gan ddymchwel cerrig coffa sydd yno ers cenedlaethau. Nid safleoedd dienw mohonynt ond beddau a gâi eu gwarchod a'u cadw o dan gonfensiynau rhyngwladol, gan gynrychioli milwyr a fu'n ymladd ac a fu farw ddegawdau cyn y gwrthdaro diweddar yng Ngasa."
--- Mae 'r chwalfa ddi-hid yn ymddangos yn ddibwys wrth ochr yr hyn a ddioddefodd y Palesteiniaid ond prawf eto mai gwladwriaeth ddinistriol, y tu hwnt i reolaeth, yw Israel.

"Satellite evidence has revealed that Israeli forces bulldozed part of the Gaza War Cemetery, a site holding the graves of British, Australian and other allied soldiers who died in the first and second world wars. The destruction shows heavy machinery tearing through marked burial plots and memorial areas, flattening headstones that have stood for generations. These were not anonymous sites, but protected war graves maintained under international conventions, representing soldiers who fought and died decades before the modern conflict in Gaza."
--- The wanton damage seems unimportant when put along side Palestinian suffering, but proves again that Israel is a destructive state, out of control.
"Efallai inni oroesi yn gorfforol, ond dydyn ni ddim wedi goroesi yn feddyliol. Mae'r hil-laddiad yn byw oddi mewn inni. Fe lyncodd y rhai a garem, ein hieuenctid, ein breuddwydion. Rwy'n credu y bydd yr hil-laddiad hwn yn dal yn fyw oddi mewn inni am byth, yn ein meddwl." - Huda Skaik

ENGLISH
Ajuga reptans is a sprawling perennial herb[2] with erect flowering stems and grows to a height of about 10 to 35 cm (4 to 14 in). The stems are square, in cross-section, with hairs on two sides and the plant has runners that spread across the surface of the ground. The purplish-green, stalked leaves are in opposite pairs. The leaf blades are hairless and are elliptical or ovate with a rounded tip and shallowly rounded teeth on the margin. The inflorescence forms a dense raceme and is composed of whorls of blue flowers, each with dark veins on the lower lip. The calyx has five toothed lobes and the corolla forms a two-lipped flower about 14 to 17 mm (0.6 to 0.7 in) long with a short tube. The upper lip of each flower is short and flat with a smooth edge and the lower lip is three-lobed, the central lobe being the largest, flat with a notched tip. There are four stamens, two long and two short, which are longer than the corolla and are attached to the tube. The ovary is superior and the fruit is a schizocarp with four chambers.

"Netanyahu's latest plans are a confirmation that Israel is hell-bent on the ethnic cleansing, and erasure of the Palestinial people, and their land. Enough of the pathetically weak words of concern from world leaders.

Displaced Palestinians in Deir al-Balah, Gaza, on Wednesday were trying to set up the most basic of amenities in their tent encampment—a makeshift water line—when an Israeli drone strike smashed into them. Shrapnel tore through flesh and bone, killing four, wounding nine, and destroying several tents. - www.dropsitenews.com/p/deir-al-balah-al-aqsa-hospital-ten... ▪️▪️▪️▪️▪️Stanley Park, Blackpool

"In August, I [[Guy CHRISTENSEN] was honored along with Ms. Rachel of making it to the “Antisemite of the Week” run by stopantisemitism.org. You speak out for Gaza, and suddenly you’re on a blacklist next to neo-Nazis and white nationalists all because you said Palestinians deserve to live.
That’s what “Antisemite of the Week” is. It’s a propaganda hit list run by Zionist hasbara operatives slapping the same label on preschool educators, Jewish anti-Zionists, and literal fascists because they care more about defending Israel’s image than fighting real antisemitism.
That’s the absurdity and political purpose of these smear campaigns, it’s not to protect Jews, but to shut down criticism of Israeli apartheid by weaponizing identity. It’s sloppy and cynical, the zionist grip is finally losing it’s bite. “Antisemitism” means nothing anymore." --- mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/FMfcgzQdzcrgxRCwXxSfFgTSB...

It knows that Israel is enforcing a system of apartheid - where Palestinians living in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory are treated differently in almost every aspect of life to Jewish Israelis.
It knows that Israel is passing new laws to deepen apartheid - including legislation that imposes the death penalty on Palestinians, but not on Jewish Israelis for the same crime.
It knows that Israel is expanding its illegal settlements across the occupied West Bank, driving Palestinians from their homes.
But instead of taking action, the UK government is satisfied to simply "express our deep concern."

"Since the so-called ceasefire came into effect in Gaza on October 10, Israel has been consolidating its control of over 50% of Gaza and—according to new research by Forensic Architecture—physically altering the geography of the land. Through a combination of the construction of military infrastructure alongside the destruction of existing buildings, Israel appears to be laying the groundwork to establish a permanent presence in the majority of the Gaza Strip.
Israel has constructed at least 13 new military outposts inside Gaza since the ceasefire—primarily located along the yellow line, in eastern Khan Younis, and near the border with Israel, according to analysis of satellite imagery by Forensic Architecture.
“Israel is doing what it always does, and what it historically has done best: establish ‘facts on the ground,’ incrementally rather than spectacularly, and make them permanent once those with influence to force it to reverse course either lose interest, decide that the cost of confronting Israel is not worth the price, or come out in open support of Israeli violations. Israel is in no rush and prepared to play the long game,” Mouin Rabbani, co-editor of Jadaliyya and a former UN official who worked as a senior analyst on Israel-Palestine for the International Crisis Group, told Drop Site after reviewing a summary of the Forensic Architecture findings." -

A surprise discovery in the middle of our capital city (Cardiff) which reminded me of the character of Blodeuwedd ('flower face'); according to her tale in the mediaeval collection, 'Y Mabinogi', she was created out of flowers and wildflowers sprang up in a trail behind her wherever she walked... Both wild and innocent she is cast as a very early 'femme fatale'

Habita en prats i, més rarament, també en boscos caducifolis humits entre els 1.400 i 2.300 m d'altitud. Floreix a la tardor (setembre-novembre) tot just després d'una bona pluja. És extraordinàriament resistent al fred i no és rar veure-la florida al mig de les primeres neus.
