Although Nigel doesn’t know the names of a great many plants, he does still take a very keen interest in everything that grows in the hedgerow as we walk along the road, particularly if they are of an unusual type nature ……
…… and so his hedgerow plant of choice these past few weeks, are what he likes to call his fluffy bushes (but now we are sure Mr D at least will be able to identify the species/genus for us, as he knows everything, even when being so far away, in Mexico).
However, I fear poor Nigel will face disappointment on his next walk ……
……. because the rain we have been experiencing these past few days appears to have washed all the fluffiness away …….
….. and I am not sure if, when the sun remerges, the fluff will dry out and fluff up again ….. Mr D? Nature can be so perplexing at times.

"Fluffy bushes." Nigel got it right!
Fingers crossed that Nigel's fluff returns! Looks like some great brambles in one of the photos-perfect for foraging. Who needs an allotment??!!

Those are quite unusual bushes, and fluffiest ever!......Nigel is witnessing nature's ever changing landscape ....don't worry Nigel, come spring new and interesting plants will appear......hopefully Mr.D can solve the fluffy bush mystery!....happy fluffy wishes, Dianne
I'm waiting for Mr. D response with bated breath - failing that you could try Gardeners Question Time on Radio 4. Such a knowledgeable bunch. JantheFan x
