Today - Red Bartsia - recently ID'd by me and looks rather insignificant, but close-up or under a lens, the flowers are lovely. I have recently been photgraphing its much larger cousin Alpine Bartsia, which is blue. |

My Flower of the day is Field Gentians on the New Forest 
I found a load while I was walking to a bog to look for the rare Marsh Clubmoss.  |

Well at the risk of upsetting Jez and not going for his field scabious   I'm going for ragwort as it brings back warm memories of looking at loads of cinnabar moth caterpillars on them with some friends a few years back. Also, taking a little liberty here, I'm going for rowan as they look really lovely at the moment with their clusters of red berries - very cheery in this wet, grey weather!

Himalayan Balsam that grows in profusion along the banks and hedgerows around here. It might be a pest species but it does look very pretty on mass and it's also beneficial to insects and they need all the help they can get this year.

or you get a friend to take you to see them They are even smaller than you think. I was lucky enough to be shown exactly where they grow just over a week ago. Took 100 photos while slowly sinking into the bog and was very close to ending up in it! They grow in the wettest part of the bog so take your wellies with you! |

Flower of the week for me has to be the violet helleborine I found in profusion on Wednesday night in the wind, rain and gloom of a Chiltern beech wood. |
