First Wild Flower Posy of the Summer

The field has suddenly bloomed, just in the last week.  There are now swathes of bright yellow buttercups, occasional glimpses of the delicate rose-pink red campion, scores of fluffy dandelion clocks, their heads erect on straight stems, great white drifts of cow parsley and the beginnings of a myriad of meadow grasses.  imageThey will be joined over the next few weeks by cowsfoot trefoil, scarlet pimpernel, self-heal, lady’s bedstraw, rib wort, knapweed, oxeye daisies and hopefully wild orchids too; the most thrilling recent newcomer!  The fields and hedgerows at this time of year are truly spectacular.
