Alchemilla mollis (or Lady's Mantle) is my Plant Of The Month for June. It has large bluey-green leaves which hold drops of water. The small bright lemon yellow flowers are abundant, held above the leaves.

Good for cottage or country gardens. Grown with Geranium Rozanne, or as here with Campanula medium, they provide a vibrant burst of colour in early summer.

Caterpillars of the Peacock butterfly feasting on stinging nettles. The second photo is a week later. They will be caterpillars for about 3 to 4 weeks before moving to a safe place to pupate. After another couple of weeks they hatch into the distinctive butterfly in photo 3.
Seeing them always makes me think of my Dad. He loved butterflies and moths. Growing up if he found some butterfly eggs on nettles (Peacocks, Small Tortoishells and Commas all lay on nettes) he would bring them home and put them in a special cage he had made so we could watch the process. This necessitated a daily supply of fresh nettles and he would return home from a day in the office, in his suit, clutching a large bunch of them!

This wisteria was lovely in the sunshine at the end of last week and smelt fabulous. It is about 2 weeks earlier this year than usual. Noticed quite a lot of plants are flowering early this year.
