With the risk of becoming a flower photo blog I post another, flower. Can’t help myself, they are so beautiful. The camera lens is drawn to them as bees. So be it.

I’m also triggered by the investigation to find out the name. Like Sherlock Holmes I look for the clues and make deductions to find the answer. My Dr Watson, Mrs Haddock, also helps out (she’s pretty good at naming flowers but don’t tell her). When I fail I go to my Mrs Hudson, my mother-in-law, she’s like a Flora. One person missing in the gallery inspector Lestrade, that would probably be the actual Flora book.

There is probably an app available but that’s no fun. Ha de Gött!

She’s got the look. Overseeing everything. I spy with my eye. Don’t come to close. I’ll scream and shit all over you.

Also this white flower has many names. Cow parsley, wild baked parsley or keck. In Swedish “Hundkäx” that, with a Haddock style, translates to “Dogs biscuit”. The plant is like the dandelion sometimes considered a weed. With its rapid growth and long roots it is hard to control for the keen gardener. So if you hear someone barking in the garden they probably chasing “dogs biscuit”.

Thrift (armeria maritima) also called sea thrift or sea pink. A sturdy little plant that grows in the poorest and salty soil. Normally close to the sea but nowadays also at the side of the road. Not because it likes fast cars but from the salt spread during winter to melt the ice.
