    Hi everyone!
    Just wanted to share a pic of my favourite wildflower which is looking lovely at the moment. We are lucky enough to have several self-sown patches of them growing along one edge of our field (aka garden). I love the shape of the flowers, the colour, and the way they look so delicate and airy but grow in the toughest wind-blown places!
    They are of course... harebells!

    Does anyone else have favourites they'd like to share?

    What a gorgeous photo of the Wood Anenome, Marley. We have a few too, but they have long finished blooming.

    :thumb: Thanks Kedi, they are long gone here now too, but they are one sign of Spring that I always look for. They are such beautiful delicate little plants. All those pics are from my old Wildflowers while out walking thread.. :rolleyes: Think I had better make a bit more of an effort for it again next year too. ;):D
