SPRING INTO SUMMER, April and May 2015

Light rain all morning on our 31st May meet was welcome, at least for the plants and wildlife along the Riverside.

Here are some of the plants flowering well this spring on the land we protect: 


Germander Speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys) in the Wild Meadow
and damp verges - 25th May 2015


Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus) flowering well this spring - 25th May 2015
Very attractive to insects


Buttercup (Ranunculus) prolific in the meadows and verges
with spider -12th May 2015


Blossom on a young Crab Apple tree,  one of the first to attract
bees in the spring - April 2015
