When I got really concerned for my safety. I asked our trusty safari guide if there has ever been an occurrence of a lion leaping into the open window of a Land Cruiser. Because the lioness was not cooperating, I thought he'd take his anger to us, parked ~10m away. Answer - "only once; because the foolish victim stretched his arm outside the confines of the vehicle".
I don't come across Wild Chives (Allium schoenoprasum) very often, but we found this one on a walk in Edworthy Park (Lawrey Gardens end) a couple of evenings ago. It is a native, common wildflower. Blooms July-August in moist meadows.
"Although the leaves and bulbs were used to flavour food, they were also used to treat colds and coughs by Native peoples. The juice was boiled to make a thick syrup, or the bulbs were sliced and placed in sugar. The resulting liquids were used as cough syrup." From "Plants of Alberta" by Royer and Dickinson.

This is a native plant here in southern Ohio. It climbs on fences and low shrubbery. It has an edible root that can weigh up to 20 pounds.
The waves crash on the shore whipped into a white foam by the wind. The wild Irish sea meets the shingle beach at Nethertown on the Cumbrian coast.
An awful lot of the rabbits at Bradgate used to have myxomatosis but this one looked pretty cute and healthy last year. There were times I wanted to put the poor things out of their misery. I hardly ever see rabbits there anymore which is a shame because I love photographing them, especially kittens like this. I'll never forget reading something about rabbits, apparently when they mate and the male reaches shall we say the culmination of his endeavours they often pass out and fall off the female ! I've always wanted to see that, I don't think I'd ever stop laughing !

This was taken at home - we have some wild garlic plants in the flower beds in our front yard, and under the influence of the fresh rain one of them has just started to flower.
I typically upload in small sets - don't just look at the latest one in my photostream as you might be missing something you'll like more.... and your comments are ALWAYS welcome :)

Another wild horse eating some of the natural food.You are not supposed to get within 50 feet of these wild mustangs.
Horses grazing in a field of ragwort, Castlegregory, Co Kerry.
OK, so they're not REALLY wild. Just a teensy-weensy bit livid at me photographing them.
And many thanks to Monica (omnishots) for the following information on ragwort:
"Now, Ragwort is unpalatable to horses in the growing state. For a horse to eat Ragwort he would have to have the sides of his stomach stuck together with hunger in a field of mud with nothing growing except Ragwort. Ragwort becomes sweet and palatable when dead. The danger is having it growing in meadow or, indeed, silage which is now increasingly fed to horses in a very wilted state when moisture levels are low. The other thing about Ragwort is that it is a cumulative poisoning and there's no way back. I only know about Ragwort in relation to horses. That was a very poor field in which your wild horses were grazing. It was full of weeds (other than Ragwort) and rushes - but the Ragwort was growing and violently healthy I thought with no sign of equine attack."
