One for the botanical artists here. Have just gathered these on my morning walk . Blue bells , stitchwort , cow parsley . Just so pretty at the moment. The dandelions are magnificent.
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Are you going to paint these yourself? If you have the time, I imagine?

This is a wonderful posy of wild flowers, but I was always under the impression native bluebells were a protected species, and should not be picked or disturbed. However, on common ground this is permitted but still inconsiderate.

Lovely photos Sylvia and Lesley. Do hope to see some more bluebell paintings on the Gallery. And as well as white bluebells, have you seen the pink version?

What ever there is, or isn't, as the case maybe, many winged insects spend a lot of time on them. I know many people only think of them as a weed, but I like the various shapes they produce when in flower and gone to seed :)

:) Dandelion seed taken on the breeze go where they will, nothing to do with me. Marigolds are a favourite, used to plant the seed in my granddad's garden, and now my own.
