Potted Ninja


I've been wondering what to plant in this pot!
I think it's best left empty...
...Ninja has claimed it!

Red Back Spider

This Red Back Spider is living on some pond weed.
I'll leave her there
But I'll have to remember her when I tidy the pond.

For Madame Benaut

This is my Bay tree Lauris nobilis
Described as slow growing,
This one sure is but has never been shaped.
They can grow to 5-17 metres tall.
Just watch that you don't confuse it with
Cherry laurel (Prunus laurocerasus)
which is toxic.



Some closer shots of the leaves for you!
