Here is a wild flower warning!

Here is a wild flower warning!

We have had a long period of warm sunny days in the recent past but that ended yesterday when it was dry but cloudy. Today it is raining. The plants will be grateful for that – but I won’t.

However I did a local (what else in the current situation) walk yesterday and saw some wild flowers which we didn’t see on our last walk in Kinsley Wood. This walk was along by the River Teme.

There were a number of locations along this path where there were some nice displays of Bluebells. I admit that I posted bluebell pictures on the last walk but never mind – I love bluebells.

I kept seeing Wild Violets and Primroses along this path so in the end I succumbed and took some photographs.

The next flower that I saw fairly frequently was Greater Stitchwort.

Followed by Red Campion. Mostly on the verges when I was walking back along the lane.

That was a nice walk (what else is there to do at the moment anyway?) of about four miles. Where can I go next without breaking the rules?

I have discovered something interesting (to me) this morning. One of the other things I love, apart from Bluebells, is Limestone Pavements. Don’t ask me why because I don’t know.

The most spectacular limestone pavements are to be found in Yorkshire and Westmorland (Cumbria) and I knew that there was a very small piece on the Great Orme in North Wales, which I haven’t yet seen, but what I didn’t know was that there is, apparently, some in the Brecon Beacons area. When this is all over I intend to go and find some.

Until then – what?
