A good example is the Tulip Tree, Liriodendron tulipifera, said leer-ee-oh-DEN-drawn too-lih-PIFF-er-uh. What if you read that a native plant was “used to make honey.” What would you think?

The first and original ladybird tower. The ladybird towers, for ladybirds and other beneficial insects, are made from natural air-dried FSC-certified timber logs, so the appearance may vary. Each tower is cleverly constructed to provide a hollow central chamber filled with straw to provide insulation and security for beneficial insects. Access to the central chamber is provided by paths drilled through the sides of the log. The apex roof protects the central chamber. The ladybird tower comes with a ground pole (fixed at the rear for transport). The ladybird tower can be sited on lawns, sheltered flower beds, wooded glades or even in planters. To encourage occupation of the tower by ladybirds, you can smear ladybird food on the entrance holes. The slow-seasoned naturally durable timbers require no chemical preservatives that might deter occupation of your ladybird tower.

Spring In Yorkshire The inspiration for this print came originally from #the100dayproject. I have been observing nature where I live, on my runs, walks and travels throughout Yorkshire. Drawing a bird, flower, animal or insect each day. Following the wave of nature as we move from Spring into Summer. This is the first in a series of seasonal prints that will document the magic of the seasons in Yorkshire. The print shows: ~Grey Wagtail seen at Hayburn in East Yorkshire ~Lesser Celandine growing in my garden ~Damselfly and cuckoo seen and heard at RSPB St. Aidans ~Bluebells and Orange Tip spotted at Parlington Woods, Aberford ~Cowslips and Oxeye daisys bursting from a verge near the M1 motorway in Leeds ~A gang of Blue Tits on my apple tree hunting for bugs among the blossom ~Snails everywhere after a Spring rain ~Swifts darting acrobatics overhead on Whernside in the Yorkshire Dales ~Goldfinches trilling from gardens, trails and hills across Yorkshire ~Red tailed bumblebees looking for a home ~Red campion filling the banks of The Lines, where I run All of the images were drawn, inked and watercoloured, some were drawn on location from life, others in my studio from photographs taken. *Frame not included* *Our prints are now printed onto sustainable archival quality paper from a renewable source.* This is a digital print, reproduced with archival inks on Archival paper (the colours will not fade). The print will be signed on the reverse, and I will include a list of where all the species where seen. Maybe next Spring you could document when you see these species in your area. Size: A4. 210 x 297mm
