Wood forget me not, musk stork's bill, Greater Periwinkle, red dead nettle, common Field Speedwell, red Clover
My final 6 so of flower for this week (taking me to 25) added some lovely rich colours to my collection - the deep blue of the Wood Forget-me-not was quite stunning.
Really looking forward to next week's #wildflowerhour challenge.
#thewinter10
Three cornered leek, danish Scurvygrass, Blackthorn, daisy, cow parsley, common chickweed and shepherds purse
I also found 7 species of white flowering plants (out of my 25 for #thewinter10).
Loving the Blackthorn blossom particularly. And two clumps of Danish Scurvygrass - a healthy patch (top middle) looking lush, and a purple coloured plant growing on a wall (presumably under stress).
#wildflowerhour
With the mild weather, more and more flowers are popping up — like my first lesser celandine, dandelion, Primrose, Cornelian cherry, Fingered speedwell, and Wall speedwell.
Thanks to #WildflowerHour for this fab #TheWinter10 — I really enjoyed it! 😄
Dandelion, Common Ragwort, Spotted Meddick, Smooth Sow-thistle, Lesser Celandine, Gorse, Groundsel ,Annual Mercury, Petty Spurge, Alexanders, Annual Meadow Grass.
As it's the last #thewinter10 I set myself an extra challenge...how many flowers I could find on my local 10 minute loop.
Turned out there has been an explosion of flowering, so my 10 minute walk took 25 minutes - with 25 species found!
Here are 12 yellow and green flowers for #wildflowerhour.
