Some nice pictures of characters I know well! I've also noticed more "whitebells" this year.
ReplyDeleteThanks John, yes quite an increase in numbers.
DeleteHet is genieten als je nu door het bos wandeldt
ReplyDeleteHet is goed om te wandelen bij een bos Bas.

Yes Simon there plenty around at the moment.
DeleteThose flowers fairly glow on my screen; beautiful exposures and composition.
ReplyDeleteThanks Wilma.
DeleteBeautiful set of photos Roy, the Lady's Smock has to be one of my favourite flowers....
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda, yes I like them as well, very petite.
DeleteLovely pictures of wildflowers, very clear and detailed. I have quite a selection of wildflowers in my garden; Cowslip, Violets, Green Alkanet, Lesser Celandine, Primrose, Marjoram, Common Field Speedwell, Dandelion, Herb Robert. This year I bought Knapweed and Wild Carrot from my local garden centre. The Green Alkanet I have everywhere, the bumblebees love this plant especially the Common Cardars. I manage to pack quite alot plants in my small garden, my lawn is slowly disappearing:-) which means less mowing each summer:-) Also have a small pond.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lyn. Sounds like you should get a fair few butterflies as well, what with all those flowers.{:))
DeleteHey Roy....WOW these photo's are just gorgeous !!!! Soft and delicate, and bright a cheery colors shapes and sizes all there own each flower!!
ReplyDeleteI am a bit envious that you get to see these beauties!!

DeleteLovely images, you really have a wonderful selection of wildflowers in your woodland! I noticed a whitebell a couple of days ago as well, must look more closely to see whether it's English or Spanish.
ReplyDeleteThanks D.
DeleteIts a large Natural England Reserve with quite a wide variety of habitat.
That's a pretty good variety for a walk. I'm hoping that we get some woodland flowers here soon.
