Rape

[zigs]

Is in flower again

Really strong sweet smell, you can smell it before you get near it, irritates your sinuses after a while.

They look so beautiful though. But I guess not everything that appears beautiful is healthy for the body.

The plants look very much like canola plants that I used to see growing in Australia regularly - I love the look of the yellow fields just going on for miles and miles!

Thankfully I don't get allergies too bad myself, but my husband does - so I don't think he'd be too much of a fan of these!

Probably the same as Canola. I don't buy the oil for cooking as I find it upsets me tummy.

Wow I am getting stuffy nose just looking at those photos! So much pollen and allergens, but it does look very pretty! Where was this photo taken?

Rape is very common in England, it's escaped from cultivation and spread along river banks and roadsides too.

The pics are from Dorset @sillylucy

I prefer olive oil too @Esther Knapicius

I sneeze if I see a really fluffy cat

Loads more fields on the way back, went thru Sixpenny Handley, love the old roadsign for it

For those of you that don't know, 6D is short for the old pre decimal Sixpenny coin.
