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)

"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.

CATALÀ
El cardó comú (Dipsacus fullonum, sinònim de Dipsacus sylvestris) és una espècie de planta amb flors considerada protocarnívora. És nativa d'Euràsia i Àfrica del Nord però actualment també és comuna a Amèrica, sud d'Àfrica, Austràlia i Nova Zelanda com espècie introduïda i de vegades com espècie nociva. És comuna a tots els Països Catalans però manca a Menorca. Les fulles caulinars són sèssils sovint més o menys connates, el capítol és ovoide globós. És una herba biennal erecta d'un a 2,6 m d'alt. Les flor s'obren en una zona circular que ascendeix progressivament. Floreix de juliol a setembre. Les fulles ´formen petits bassals on s'ofeguen insectes per això es considera protocarnívora.

ENGLISH
Dipsacus fullonum, syn. Dipsacus sylvestris, is a species of flowering plant known by the common names wild teasel or fuller's teasel, although the latter name is usually applied to the cultivated species Dipsacus sativus.[2] It is native to Eurasia and North Africa, but it is known in the Americas, southern Africa, Australia and New Zealand as an introduced species and often a noxious weed. It forms large monocultures (displacing other species) in areas it invades that have favorable climates and none of its biological control species. The inflorescence is a cylindrical array of lavender flowers which dries to a cone of spine-tipped hard bracts. It may be 10 centimeters long. D. fullonum is identifiable in the 6th-century Vienna Dioscurides, fol. 99. It is a herbaceous biennial plant (rarely a short-lived perennial plant) growing to 1–2.5 metres (3.3–8.2 ft) tall.

Planta bienal, herbácea que alcanza una altura de 1,5 metros de altura y tiene un tallo espinoso. Tallos rectos de hasta 1,5 m, poco ramificados y armados con aguijones. Las hojas son enteras, dentadas y lanceoladas, uniéndose en la base formando un cáliz que recoge el agua de lluvia. Las flores son de un color rosado-lila y aparecen en cabezas espinosas y cónicas. A cada púa de la cabeza le corresponde una flor. WIKIPEDIA

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."

"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...

There are more than 50 varieties of Taraxacum on the Internet, and specialists disagree with the nomenclature of seeds and flowers.

La veça o veça comuna (Vicia sativa) és una espècie de planta del gènere Vicia.
Les veces són plantes herbàcies anuals amb fulles compostes pinnades més o menys pubescents amb molts foliols que sovint acaben en un circell, a diferència del gènere Lathyrus (guixa) les tiges no són alades. Les flors són purpúries o més o menys violàcies, el llegum té de 5 a 12 granes. Al litoral occidental d'Espanya viu des de nivell de mar fins als 1500 m d'altitud.Les veces es poden conrear pel gra o per la planta sencera com a farratgera o per incorporar al terreny com adob verd. El gra conté substàncies antinutritives que fan que només la consumeixin determinats animals (és el menjar típic dels coloms). El farratge, collit amb la planta en floració, és de bona qualitat i apte per a tot tipus d'animals. És una planta rústega de fàcil conreu capaç de créixer ràpidament aprofitant un període de pluges de la primavera.

Vicia sativa, known as the common vetch, garden vetch, tare or simply vetch, is a nitrogen-fixing leguminous plant in the family Fabaceae. Although considered a weed when found growing in a cultivated grainfield, this hardy plant is often grown as green manure or livestock fodder.
Vicia sativa is a sprawling annual herb, with hollow, four-sided, hairless to sparsely hairy stems which can reach two meters in maximum length.
The leaves are stipulate, alternate and compound, each made up of 3–8 opposite pairs of linear, lance-shaped, oblong, or wedge-shaped, needle-tipped leaflets up to 35 millimetres (1.4 in) long. Each compound leaf ends in a branched tendril.
The pea-like flowers occur in the leaf axils, solitary or in pairs. The flower corolla is 1–3 centimetres (0.4–1.2 in) long and bright pink-purple in colour, more rarely whitish or yellow. The flowers are mostly visited by bumblebees.

"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." -

Rubus fruticosus L. is the ambiguous name of a European blackberry species in the genus Rubus in the rose family. The name has been interpreted in several ways:
The species represented by the type specimen of Rubus fruticosus L., which is also the type specimen of the genus Rubus.This specimen is considered to match the species R. plicatus, in Rubus subgenus Rubus, section Rubus.
Various species consistent with Linnaeus' original description of the species, which was based on a mixture of specimens now considered to match Rubus ulmifolius and R. plicatus
a species aggregate (group of similar species) Rubus fruticosus agg. (a nomen ambiguum) that includes most (or rarely all) of a group called Rubus subgenus Rubus (or less often: Rubus section Rubus [sensu latissimo]):
in a narrow sense, sometimes separated as the section Glandulosus (alternative name: subsection Hiemales), with about 289 microspecies. In this sense the species aggregate does not include the type of the genus Rubus.
in a broad sense: (1) (i) sections Glandulosus and Rubus [sensu stricto] (in non-British systems, these two sections are classified together as section Rubus [sensu lato], section Glandulosus being called subsection Hiemales and section Rubus [sensu stricto] being called subsection Rubus) or (ii) "most of" these sections; or (2) sections Glandulosus, Rubus [sensu stricto] and Corylifolii. Section Rubus [sensu stricto] (about 20 microspecies) are probably hybrids involving members of section Glandulosus with either R. idaeus or R. allegheniensis.Section Corylifolii (about 24 microspecies) are probably hybrids involving members of section Glandulosus with R. caesius.
even more broadly, including all the taxa in the subgenus Rubus.
