Why not let us know and get voting!. If you've got a piccy of any of these amazing plants, I'd love to see them. No mystery quizzes from me until late November/December time as I've got to go into hospital in 2 weeks time, but never fear whilst I am recuperating I shall be pondering on a brand new quiz for you all.Take care,Claire
Well I voted for Harebell! Lol! Anything with 'hare' in the name has to be a favourite!
Here's a harebell with sheltering bee (uploaded at the time):
And a Dog rose:
All the best for your hospital visit and for a speedy recovery afterwards!

I love harebells too, they are so dainty. Lovely photos, thanks for posting. Thanks also for well wishes. Claire
Dog Rose for me
They always brighten the hedgerows.
Always remember dad always picked the first he found for mother
So it brings back memories of walking with dad

a good laugh is better than a tonic
What a lovely gesture and wonderful memory to have Ray.
Well done with that photo of the bee in the flower Marjus.
Here to a speedy recovery MrsT we need you around to keep us in line.

Birding is for everyone no matter how good or bad we are at it,enjoy it while you can
Many thanks Seaman, I shall do my best.
I vote for Dog Rose because it epitomises the British countryside and it's the one I'm most familiar with. I do like Harebells very much as well.
Thanks for doing all these quizzes, Mrs T. I think we have all enjoyed having a go at them and it's been much appreciated.
Hope all goes well with your hospital treatment and best wishes for a speedy recovery.

I agree with you about Dog roses Teejay. We used to have them growing at my parents house, I used to look forward to them blooming. Thanks for your kind regards.

It has to be dog rose.
Mrs T since we will not be able to keep you out of trouble while you are hors de combat we will have to rely on our requirement for fiendish quizes to keep you occupied. Get plenty of rest and come back fighting fit.
