Ambiguous Affair




I am shocked to announce that there have been some naughty going ons at Tallulah Belle’s nursery.

A short while ago I found a cute little shoot that was unfamiliar to me. I looked in all my reference books and couldn’t find a species like it.

It was only once she started growing that I realized why.

It seems, my friends, that we have been having some illicit cross pollination going on in the middle of the night. Tut tut.

Polly Poppy was always the partying type but never in my wildest dreams did I think she’d be run off with Maurice mushroom.

And here she is… the hybrid offspring of this dubious dalliance who looks like she has inherited her Mothers promiscuous tendencies.

    She's a delight!! A real love child!
    She somehow reminds me of those 1:1 fritillaries which have a blue checkerboard pattern - where did *they* come from?
    Brilliant! :)

    Ooops...just can't let them out of your sight for a moment! Very cute...very clever...and very original. Love her little dotted self.

    I always thought fritillaries were orange and black spotted butterflies?
