Plant of the week 🌸 Geranium sanguineum (bloody cranesbill) found in the 6 Quarters. Did you know it is called cranes-bill because the fruit capsule resembles the Crane's bill? Seems obvious now!

June 19, 1785 – Most of our oaks are naked of leaves, & even the Holt in general, having been ravaged by the caterpillars of a small phalaena, which is of a pale, yellow colour.
