The "Tulip trench" is full of so much in flower, I can hardly tell weeds - of which there are many - from flowers.

Pan of 5 images stitched in PS, taken with Leica Digilux, Mk 1. [Someone wisely once said, "Owning a Leica doesn't make you a photographer, it simply makes you a Leica owner!"] Planted as 5' long staves about seven years ago now these have reached their full height of about 35-40 feet. Cutting them for firewood or fodder will produce vigorous new growth, and cattle and deer nibbling the lower branches will produce this bushiness. The leaves contain a rich source of acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin) which animals find helps with their aches and pains!
