Wild Flowers you have seen while out walking....!

That Lucy Locket, is that a Cardamine Pratensis Marley?

 

Aah, didn't know they were called that Cuckoo Flower around here

 

I gave some leaves to a primary school class I took on a nature walk, still remember the looks on their faces when they realised how peppery they are

Teacher asked what it's latin name was, told her straight away, but said I didn't think a bunch of 5 year olds would want to know that

She let me get on with it after that

Primrose?

 

The ones with clover shaped leaves are Wood Sorrel

Lovely spot, did you notice the Gnome in the first picture?

 

I saw these growing on the side of the road a few weeks back. I think they are so pretty.

Anyone know what they are?

 

Stitchwort, Goosegrass and White Dead Nettle, very Springlike Jane

 

I was at Cricklade fritillary meadow in Gloucestershire this morning. It was fantastic to see carpets of this lovely flower, well worth a visit.

 

Is that the one with the boundary stones marking the ancient hay lots?
