8th July |
High Bog.
Bright sunshine all day. |
I was in search of Sundew flowers, but I turned out to be about 2 days too early. The leaves have, however, fully developed with their shiny drops of glue.
|
The Bog Asphodel is showing nicely, and I'll be revisiting later to show the oranges and reds that develop. The close-up shows just what a complex flower they have. Flowers about 12 mm across.
|
The Bog Cotton was blowing in the wind all over the field. |
I got the feeling this lichen was past its best, but maybe that's how it looks. Specimen about 8 cm across.
|
On the way back to the car I spotted the shoot of the Wild Angelica. Lots of interesting insect photographs in prospect.
