This lovely wildflower was another new find for me last Thursday, growing along the roadside on the walk to and from Charlton King’s Common near Cheltenham. I couldn’t help but notice these glorious, bright yellow flowers that looked superficially like the many buttercups all around them but their leaves were quite different, slim, oblong and quite hairy. You can read more about the Common rock-rose (Helianthemum nummularium) on the Naturespot website here.
