I wandered up and down the quiet lane at
Black Middens yesterday afternoon, between the Tarset Burn and Comb, looking for flowers and butterflies. Sadly the Orange Tip avoided me again, but only just; I did get very near to photographing one.
The flowers were more obliging even though it was rather breezy. This Yellow Archangel (
Lamiastrum galobdolon) was a new-for-me species ...
And these are the best of the rest:
Water Avens (Geum rivale)
Cuckooflower or Lady's Smock (Cardamine pratensis)
Greater Stitchwort (Stellaria holostea)
Marsh Marigold (Caltha palustris)
Crosswort (Cruciata laevipes)A this past-its-best Bugle (
Adjuga pertans)
As ever, if I have identified any of the flowers incorrectly, please do let me know.
