A to Z challenge 2023 – K is for . . .
My
theme for this challenge is Nature in all much of her wonderful
diversity. My posts will reflect the fact that I am resident in the south of
England.

K is for
KISS
or
Keep It
Simple, Silly
Kenilworth
Ivy (Cymbalaria muralis)
Also known as ivy-leaved toadflax, pennywort, wandering sailor
Low-growing
creeping trailing perennial
Spreads everywhere
Kerria
japonica (Japanese rose)
Vigorous, deciduous spring shrub, flowering from March to May and sometimes again in the summer.
Easily
propagated from cuttings
Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)
Often seen hovering beside
roadside verges, hunting for small mammals
Kestrels like small mammals, so best to keep your pup and kittens close to you.
ReplyDeleteKestrels are quite small. I think they're safe;-)
DeleteThe Japanese Rose is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteIt is pretty and it flowers for a long time. Another bright yellow, like forsythia, to brighten dreary days.
ReplyDeleteWe used to have Kerria japonica in our garden but one year it just disappeared ... such a pity as it came from my late parents' garden. Had no idea it was nicknamed Japanese rose ... xxx
ReplyDeleteOurs disappeared a while ago. I've ordered another as I like it very much.
ReplyDeleteThe Japanese Rose is so pretty!
