As this week’s #WildflowerHour challenge on social media is to find white flowers (they will feature in tomorrow’s blog), I thought that today I would post about the coloured wildflowers that have begun to bloom in my local area, so here they are:

A quite random combination of Forget-me-not and Cuckooflower

Both the traditional blue and the pinkish-lilac variation of Spanish bluebells

The yellows: Cowslips and Marsh marigolds and, not really new but beginning to flower in greater numbers now, Dandelions

Flowers with leaves shaped like Ivy: Ivy-leaved speedwell and Ivy-leaved toadflax

Members of the Geranium family: Common stork’s-bill, Herb Robert and Shining crane’s-bill
