WILDFLOWERS YOU HAVE SEEN WHILE OUT WALKING

Oblong Leaved Sundew (Drosera intermedia).

 

I don't usually take my camera with me when I'm walking locally, but I always take pix when out on the hills.
These are from the most recent two outings on Wednesday [Ben Venue, Aberfoyle] and last Sunday [Stuchd an Lochain in Glen Lyon]
The Scottish bluebells [harebells - Campanula rotundifolia] are looking particularly good in some areas

The hills are covered in wild thyme as well as heather, so there's a fair old bit of pink and purple around

I can never remember the name of this plant, but it's very common here on our hills in summer

 

Fleabane


Horse Mint


Hemp Agrimony, rapidly getting elbowed out by the Himalayan Balsam


Birdsfoot Trefoil


Burdock


Scarlet Pimpernel



Finally this one made me do a double-take; I initially assumed I was looking at just more bindweed, but it's a really lovely white mallow

 

Belladonna flower and fruit

 

Tiny Bog orchid, only 9ins high in a very wet Dorset heath.

 

Last of the year's orchids, Autumn Ladies Tresses, barely more than 6" high so easily trodden on.

 

@strongylodon Again amazing photos of our native orchids. So good to see so many. Thank you.

 

Thankyou, there are over 50 species and many that I will never get to see.

 

Marsh Gentian.

 

Lovely @strongylodon !

 

@strongylodon, you must be walking Stoborough heath and environs?

 

@Nutcracker South Somerset, close, Middlebere/Hartland Moor.
