    Hiya

    Have managed to ID most of the photos I took today but not these two.
    Both were growing on clay in managed wildflower meadows in Suffolk. The purple one was particularly fond of swamping nearby tree-guards.
    Any ideas?

    Hi Martin.

    I am afraid I am rubbish with wild flowers. However the name Yellow Rattle springs to mind with the first one.
