My little meadow

I'd like to share with you one of my favourite places.
My little meadow.( It is actually called 'little meadow' or 'le petit pre' on the map of our area.)
It is left untouched all year, except when it gets cut for hay once in the summer.



I love walking through it smelling the wild flowers and the mint. I can hear bird song and the stream below.


Our dog would once romp around up there, alas now he's too old but suffices himself sniffing around after the deer.


Burnet saxifrage.
It is surrounded by trees, mostly oaks,chestnut and hazelnut.
There are lots of different wild flowers. It's quite nice to photograph them and then look them up on the net to discover what they are. I seem to have quite a medicine cabinet going on up there.




Mallow.

Prunella vulgaris

I don't know what the following one is.?




Birds foot Trefoil

 

Lovely Mandy

 

Lovely placeWell the one that you don't know what it is looks like a Geranium of some kind but also your Prunella vulgaris isn't a Prunella Vulgaris:o I think mabe a Mint of some kind though

This is a picture of P. vulgaris I found, as you can see it's a bit different... although it more then likely grows in the meadow as it's everywhere:D

I think Aesculus is right, Cut Leaved Cranesbill, Geranium Disectum.

 

Thanks for the correction. And after another google search,it definitely looks like Cut Leaved Cranesbill.:thumb:

 

Any idea what this one is?

 

Blimey, you mean I got something right at last

I'm in trouble with Silver Surfer now

It looks great, wouldn't be suprised if there were Orchids there in the spring. Keep us notified

 

A Labiate, but need more detail
