WILDFLOWERS YOU HAVE SEEN WHILE OUT WALKING

Yellow archangel

Greater Stitchwort

Colts foot

 

Toothwort.

 

I haven't seen any Toothwort yet but plenty of Arum immaculatum flowering.

 

First Early Purple orchids, some colour variation with a few pink ones coming up.






Adder's Tongue (fern), I haven't noticed them before but there was a few clumps of them.

 

After seeing @strongylodon post I did a walk this morning to where there are normally some Early Purple orchids, pleased to find quite a few around

 

@Scroggin, They shot up quickly and as yours, a decent height but the Green Winged were very small. There will be more of both in a week or twos time.

 

@strongylodon , the only place locally I know of for Green Winged orchids is Scotney Castle in Kent,it's NT so I'll wait until after Easter for a visit. The orchids there, are all in the lawn by the main house.

 

Gentiana verna, growing on a verge in the Burren two days ago. Amazing colour...

 

Greater Celandine

 

@Liriodendron Stunning gentian photo. We worked in Galway many decades ago and made a lovely visit to the Burren and have never forgotten the landscape and the way the plants get into the nooks and crannies. Lovely photo.

 

Thanks, @On the Levels. I think the flowers, rather than the photo, are stunning, actually! I just bent over them with my mobile phone and clicked...
Yes, the Burren is a magical place for wild flowers, including 27 orchid species. We're lucky to live not too far away.

 

Gorgeous pink of a wood anemone before it turns white.

 

Badbury Rings near Wimborne, just two orchids showing so far June and July for the other four.
Early Purple and Common Twayblade, one of our least colourful orchids.

 

@strongylodon as always stunning photos of the orchids.

 

Thankyou @On the Levels, I don't usually go there until next month but I was surprised to see the Twayblade in flower. Next there in June will be Bee, Frog (hopefully), Common spotted, Chalk Fragrant and Greater Butterfly.
