Original Hedgerow, because I was expecting one or two flowering plants to be ready. I wasn't disappointed.
Occasional sunny periods in a very wet day. |
The Nipplewort is another yellow daisy. It's one of the few that doesn't make a seed 'clock'. Flower about 12 mm across. |
This Silver Ground Carpet moth landed under the fern as I passed. It probably thought it was hidden. It wasn't. So I suppose this is a bug's-eye view of a moth.
|
Yet another soldier beetle - this time Cantharis pellucida. |
This Marsh Cinquefoil is one of the flowers I expected to see. I find it hard to believe that this is related to Tormentil and Silverweed. |
Here's another of my favourite flowers - the Tutsan. Other close relatives of the St. John's Wort family are very close to flowering, too.
|
The heady scent of the Meadowsweet announced the arrival of the delicate flowers. |
The Honeysuckle has been open for a few days, now, but this is the first time I've had a safe opportunity for a photograph. |
This little group of Psathyrella mushrooms nestled neatly in the grass verge. Spores oval, dark brown. |
