I will be "otherwise engaged" for a while, so there will be no posts on PhotoQuoto for a few weeks. My last post is an image from my garden featuring flowers. In the background is sage and forget-me-nots. However, the white petalled shrub in the foreground is a species I an unable to name. If anyone can enlighten me I would be delighted!

I read recently that the acreage of oil-seed rape grown in the UK, which has been increasing year on year, rose by 17% in 2007. A recent walk near Folkingham in Lincolnshire left clothes spotted with yellow pollen and provoked more than a few sneezes!
