How does your garden grow?

With silver bells and cockle shells and …where the hell did my dinner go?

Beautiful bunny is Fiver. Photo by Emily. Thank you sender-inner Shaolin T.!

      Doctor Bun says: I wear a flower, now. Flowers are cool. A lot cooler than a lapel vegetable at any rate.

      If you’re saying that your buns have Watership Down names too, then you’re close. There was a Blackberry and a Strawberry, but no Blueberry.

    Lady Bunnfred “Bunny” Snogglepuf-FitzWigglenoz tries on a new fascinator for the wedding of Prince Albert of Monaco and Miss Charlene Wittstock. It is not quite as impressive as the hat she wore for Wills and dear Kate’s wedding but, let’s face it, the Grimaldis are, what shall we say, lesser nobility?

      I don’t remember a Mary in that book. Is that in the sequel? Or does Bigwig have something to tell us?

      I love “Watership Down,” but I equally love other books by Richard Adams. “The Plague Dogs” is good, but my two favorites are “Maia” and “The Girl In A Swing.” Talented guy.

    We “Mary”s sure get tired of that contrary designation. Sick and tired!! We’re not contrary at all!!!

    Bunny says: I disapprove of many things – of the recent death of Cinnamon, of pollution, of inflation, and of this flower you have placed on my dead.

    I’m trying to wrap my head around that tuft of gray hair. Is it a part of the flower headpiece, or was she “born with it”? Very much overgrown ear tufts perchance?
    Could someone enlighten me please?

        OMG it really is part of the bunny??? You know, as opposed to being a toupée. Just googled lionhead rabbit. My head asploded.
        Thanks Michelle for opening up a whole new world of cute for me :)

    could it be…? is this a bunny who doesn’t disapprove of its own cuteness?!

      Personally she reminds me of the Queen. That slightly smug tug at the corners of her mouth because she knows that she has the best hat in the room.

    I just love when people name their buns after Watership charachters.
