If we head out for an afternoon sanity walk, we take turns calling the route. Andrew's are direct and all about putting in the steps. Mine are meandering and all about seeing interesting things. I remembered a place about a mile from here that I'd walked by years ago...there were verbascum...

There were at least as many verbascum as I remembered, maybe more.

The house and its plantings weren't quite quite on par with what I remembered (and do you think I could find my earlier post? No matter how long I spent looking for it? No. No I could not), so I'm not sharing any overall shots.

But that should be enough. Those slightly stringy things you see in the bare-soil parts of the hellstrip? They're old bloom spikes laid out, with hopes of seed being released into the soil I assume.
