I think this is a Yucca. We see it across the road and today, on the way to the allotment, I got my photo.
On the wood of the cage that protects our raspberry crop, was this rather magnificent spider, an Orb Weaver, I think. Apparently the females are twice the size of the males so iIm thinking this is a female as she was 1.5cms. I this is a male the female must be enormous!
It was good to see a bee still collecting nectar.
