High Heath.
Heavy showers, some with hail. |
Two yellow daisies to start: Smooth Hawksbeard - Crepis capillaris - on the left and the bud of Common Catsear - Hypochaeris radicata - on the right.
|
These leaf rosettes of Common Butterwort - Pinguicula vulgaris - always remind me of a sickly starfish. |
A nice shot of the leaves of Fairy Flax - Linum catharticum. |
I suppose this is why the Polytrichum mosses are known as Hair Cap mosses. The hairy covering of the capsule is now ready to be jettisoned. Polytrichum formosum. |
