A short walk along the river wall revealed that many flowers have shot up with the recent rain. Shame it was not warmer today as I suspect that the insect life would have been much better. Did not see a single butterfly! Anyway, have posted a selection of some of the wonderful blooms.
Bristly Ox-tongue... does it get its name for the bristly cow tongue shaped leaves or frm the fact that cows do not like it!
Creeping Thistle does just that but we have largely confined it to the edges of the marsh now rather than out on the pasture.
This is the white form of Creeping Thistle
