I know you’ve been waiting for this so .... here ‘tis. A little floral scenery. These beauties have hemmed our path, dotted the ruggedness of this rocky island and given us, particularly me, great pleasure. I’ve been able to ID lots but many remain mysteries still to be cracked. I love my wildflowers book! It has had so much use - it was worth lugging it half round the world. (I’ve had to load the pix in two batches)
 |
| A pretty Buebell I haven’t found in the book - yet! |
 |
| These red and purple Fuchsia continue to delight the eye |
 |
| These pretty cousins seem pale and insignificant beside the red - but so delicate |
 |
| Yet to be identified but pretty - and yellow! |
 |
| Purple Loosestrife. It formed hedges along many roads with other pretty flowers and grasses |
 |
| Rosebay have put on the most glorious display. Once tickets of flowers, they are putting out their wispy white feathery seeds |
 |
| Vibrant Montbretia |
 |
| Sea Thrift or Sea Pinks cluster in huge pillowy banks on the most inhospitable cliffs as well as roadside |
 |
| Orange lily-like Montbretia, mixing with Rosebay, Meadowsweet, masses of grasses and umbellifers which tease and frustrate me |
 |
| Ragwort blazing with colour |
 |
| Sea Asters found growing in The Burren in cracks in the limstone pavement |
 |
| Delicate pink Yarrow form clustered posies |
 |
| Roadsides linesd with brilliant yellow - Common Ragwort. An unfortunate name for such a happy-looking flower |
