Some of those wildflowers I haven't seen before, Wendy. Very nice.

Really nice flower pics, Wendy!

Just caught up on this thread, great pics everyone! I will add some as and when I find some!

 

[Chickadeedeedee]

What a ~beautiful~ thread! :t:

Here's some from this side....

Wild Geranium... Queen Anne's Lace ... Lilly-of-the-Valley ... Star of Bethlehem ... Spring Beauty.

Sorry but I don't know the scientific / proper names now but will find them and add / edit them in later this weekend.

Lovely to see wildflowers from a different Country, Lydia, very pretty.

 

[Wendy Morris]

Agree with Val there, Lydia. Some similar to ours of course. Not up on the scientific names of many of the ones in this country!

I've a few from today, but I need to id before I put them on here and I can't do that at this time of night!!!...so...they'll be here tomorrow sometime.

 

[Wendy Morris]

Here are the ones from yesterday...

1. I think is Cat's Ear.

2. I'm informed this is Wood Avens.

3. This is either Pink or Blue Water-speedwell. Apparently they do mix!

 

[palval147]

Those are very nice, Wendy. I do particularly like the last one.

 

[Chickadeedeedee]

Those are *very* pretty, Wendy. :t:

Is ~Cat's Ear~ the same as our dandelion?

Yes and no, Lydia! They are all daisy-like flowers with slight variations.

Spotted this on a grass verge.
The Orchid is a Southern Marsh (dactylorhiza praetermissa)

 

[Pam_m]

Lovely flowers everyone!

I have yet to see an Orchid for this year, Val!

 

[palval147]

Strangly, Pam, it wasn't what I first thought, an Early Purple, on looking it up. There were a lot in the same area, a grass verge on a minor road & I think they were all the same species.

 

[Wendy Morris]

I took a walk around the village paths this morning for a couple of hours and, apart from all the ones we've all seen already, there were these....

1. Close up of Bramble flower.

2&3. Common Mallow.

4. Goat's Beard fruit, rather like a giant Dandelion!

 

[palval147]

Very nice, Wendy. I didn't realise Brambles had such a pretty flower. We have them invading our garden at present, nasty thorny things to cut too. My hands are very scratched||

 

[Stewart J.]

Just getting into flowers would someone confirm or correct my id of this as Meadow Cranesbill

 

[palval147]

Yes, it is, Stewart. Nice photo.

 

[Pam_m]

Love the flower pics Wendy and Stewart!:t:

I found this Welsh Poppy growing on a bridge in the Wyre Forest on Sunday!

 

[palval147]

Very nice, Pam. I don't think I have ever seen a yellow Poppy before.

 

[Peewit]

Super pictures from everyone that I have not mentioned. :t::t::t::t::t::t:

Hi Pam

Love your Welsh poppies. Welsh Poppies are one of my mums favourite plants.

Val: You can get Welsh Poppies in Yellow and Orange. Lovely flowers for your garden, and they are quite robust to grow too

 

[Pam_m]

Thanks for your replies Val and kathy.

Val, I cannot recall seeing many yellow Poppies growing in the wild so it was a nice find.

Kathy, the orange Poppy you are referring to is I believe called 'Atlantic Poppy'.
