The orchids might be the show-stoppers in the woods, but I think some of the other common wild flowers are more than worth a second look. Even some of the smallest ones, or ones that would normally be dismissed as ‘weeds’ are attractive if looked at closely. The wild roses are at their best at the moment as are the birdsfoot trefoil, which are much smaller so easy to miss. Photos of both are below.
Also in flower at the moment are the honeysuckle and the cuckoo flower or lady’s smock.
If you have any photos of your own, whether flowers, birds or just general views of the Blean, please add them to the gallery.
