But, then again . . . . .

Strange Garden.

I was going to blip this a few weeks ago, but then a storm came along and the flood water beat all the plants down. They've since recovered and you wouldn't know anything had happened.
The tall one is, I think, ragwort - poisonous to most mammalian life forms; occasionally, bees will work it but even the honey is toxic and has a bitter tang to it. Honey bees are fairly sensible creatures (for bees) and so are probably immune to the toxins but, the fact that they rarely collect nectar from it suggests that it does not come at the top of their list of favourite foods.
I must go back and look when the flowers emerge and see if I can make a positive identification.
