Hang on - whaaat!? "Plants can 'hear' bees buzzing and serve up more nectar when they are nearby, scientists have found. Amazingly, they can tell the difference between a bee鈥檚 buzz and that of a non-pollinating insect such as a wasp."

馃槷 That is AMAZING.

I spent yesterday watching some games in the National Softball League at #FarnhamPark just north of #Slough. Of course I took some time off to inspect the weeds' Why would anyone neglect to do that? Common Mallow and Catsear growing on an earth mound around one of the car parks. Much of the ground is football, rugby and softball pitches so a splash of colour is welcome. #WildflowerHour #Buckinghamshire#Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
