two rarities


At last summer has arrived with some warm sunshine. The meadows are full of wild flowers. This is a heath fritillary (female) feeding on cornish bladderseed, two rarities in one.

    All umbellifers look like each other to some extent, but this is the elusive Bladderseed, so named for the peculiar shape of its seeds!
