For the past ten days or so, during my daily meanders around the local countryside, I’ve been on the lookout for any wildflowers still in bloom and, as we’ve only just experienced our first frost of the season and temperatures generally have been quite mild, many plants still have flowers, albeit, occasionally, on a very limited scale – a single Black horehound flower on the one plant I found, for example. Other plants, like Common ragwort, are still producing abundant numbers of flowers, much to the delight and relief of those insects still out and about. Here’s what I’ve found; I’m sure there are more that I’ve missed.
