Feeding time

I was supposed to go wading up the Water again this morning but seem to have crocked my ankle slightly (probably standing in an awkward way to get at a tricky bit of hedge), so wimped out. Spent most of the day with foot up (it only hurts when I walk!), doing maths and playing guitar a bit.

The butterwort, after dying back so severely last autumn that I thought it was a gonner, is resurgent. The rosette of leaves was initially almost pure white, but it's gaining some green colour. What do plants make chlorophyll from I wonder? It's certainly got plenty of little black flies to keep it going.
