we returned to the watery edges this evening and strolled along all of them, 'discovering' another plant from the Compositae family Asteraceae: Nodding Bur-marigold or Knikkend Tandzaad

I love the seeds with the tiny hooks, like tiny brushes; all of the official looking illustrations & text come from this site, a great source of botanical information for one such as me; I've added the link onto my blogroll for I'm sure I will want to use it more often in the future. |

some of the watery 'arms' have been temporarily blocked from the vliet; I'm not sure why, a colleague suggested it might have been created as a safe-haven for the amphibians, a green blanket has grown on the surface. At first I found it quite off-putting, but then I saw Django tasting it and I scooped up a bit: it's almost felt like; I' ve taken this small sample back home with me and will let it dry and see what happens once it has: will it fall apart? still be soft? I can imagine it once having been used as cushion filling or a soft comforter
