Drumboe Wood.
5 x male Orange Tip Dry, sunny and warm with occasional showers. |
Two more trees just in leaf. Oak on the left and Lime on the right.
|
Herb Robert usually colours red when under stress. This one deserves all it gets. It has decided to grow in the rotting knot-hole of this Lime tree. Specimen about 6 cm across.
|
Yet another rust - Uromyces muscari. This one is on the leaf of the Bluebell. Interestingly, out of thousands of Bluebells seen, there were no white ones this year. Yet.
|
I thought this excellent flower of the Creeping Buttercup - Ranunculus repens - was worth capturing.
|
The Wood Speedwell - Veronica montana - is a very attractive plant in all its parts. The subtle colours are also quite difficult to capture. The flower on the right is a bit atypical - most are the delicate pale lilac shown on the left.
