Silver Trails, New Blooms and Barbecue Smoke

31 May

1   It’s been a beautiful sunny day and I’ve been tidying up the garden. Lifting the lid on the rhubarb forcer, I found these delicate slug trails which shimmered and silvered in the sunshine. I’m not sure what the surface film was made of, webs perhaps.

    I think the little blue flower might be a Techophilaea cyanocrocus (Chilean blue crocus); it’s a beautiful photograph. Thanks for sharing in the promise of more sunshine and warm days.

    I have to agree with Marilyn…who would have thought of that! The flowers are quite pretty and they don’t have to have a name. I miss using our barbecue…hopefully soon we’ll find a house. In the meantime…it’s in storage.

      I think anyone who saw the trails gleaming in the sunshine would have thought, ‘I need to have a photo to show others the beauty of a slug trail!’

    Sisyencrium, may be misspelled. I saw some on someone else’s blog and remembered my own which something had chewed on. They are bravely blooming nevertheless.
