Flowers of the Forest

These are images of flowers found currently around my woodland walk which include some open areas as well. So "of the Forest" is not strictly correct.

Greater Stitchwort

Sony Alpha 6000. E-16-50mm lens.  1/100 at f6.3.  50mm.  ISO100

Ramsons


Bluebell


Cowslip


Bugle


Lady's Smock (Cuckoo Flower)


Yellow Archangel



Marsh Marigold (Kingcups)


Wood/Dog Violet

Sony Alpha 6000. E-55-210mm lens.  210mm.  1/320 at f6.3.  ISO200





Lesser Celandine


Primrose


Wood Anemone




Whitebell


NB: I'm not a fan of Bagpipe music normally, give me the Band of the Royal Marines any day, but go to the below Youtube link and you will see where the term Flowers of the Forest came from:

    It's always good to see the colour returning to the countryside Roy, and you've captured some lovely examples here.
    I like the Whitebells, I've only seen one example (sadly trampled!) so far this year...[;o)

    Check out Greater Stitchwort (Stelaria holostea) and Bugle (Ajuga reptans)

    Something tells me if you were to look at what I'm calling wood sorrel on my blog, you may well correct me and say its stitchwort! I'm a terrible botanist!

    What a treat these are Roy, gorgeous flowers and your photos too. Thanks for the link on Flowers of the Forest. I am a fan of bagpipe music but the Band of the Royal Marines are also a fav. Magnificent!
