This is the time of year when our herbs are coming into full flower.

This self-sown marjoram is in splendid flower, with hoverflies and bees giving it full attention.

I must admit that it is the herb I use least. I am always cutting mint, pulling bay leaves, snipping dill or chives. But marjoram?

But with looks as good as this, who cares?

What a little stunner.
