I was inspired to grow sea holly after visiting Kew Gardens last summer, where I saw it absolutely covered in bumblebees. So, when I got home, I sowed some seeds. A few of the plants have done well and are now flowering for the first time. As you can see, they're popular with the bumblebees here too! Värmland, Sweden (10 july 2026).

Somehow this video captures the scale of whales better than any other video or photo I have ever seen.

That is a humpback. If you think they are huge, I have some news for you…

Fun fact: the blue whale is the biggest animal to ever live on earth. And they’re alive today.

The biggest isn’t some dinosaur or weird devonian fish, nope. It’s the blue whale, and you share a planet with them. How lucky is that?
