Flowerheads - flax (nga korari harakeke)

They're particularly robust this year - more angular, bolder,  gruntier! I wonder why?

Goodness, I've been negligent! So few posts lately and all because I've been...busy, but I'm guessing, so have you! My garden is in "boom" mode and has been for a few weeks now, and most of my "work" has involved mulching down overly exuberant plants, such as wild chervil and alexanders. While those are taking some managing, they produce and abundance of "blanketing" for everything else and ensure the carbon content of my soil continues to grow significantly. here are a few views of my forest garden as it looks right now - healthy, green, vibrant and fruitful - what could be better!
