Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

now the dandelions and primroses have stopped flowering, the daisies and buttercups are still going strong, but we have newcomers to our lawn

Birds foot trefoil or eggs and bacon



Lesser Trefoil i think,



Ribwort Plantain, although it has been here for a few weeks.


Finally this one, presumably an escapee from a garden, the stem is about 12" with only leaves at the base. I don't know its name.

Fox and cubs? Pilosella aurantiaca, not a native, but long established in the wild.

It has dozens of other names, including hawkweed.

I can think of a few places in the Lake District where it is really common. The graveyard in Hawkshead being one.

I came across a ‘wild’ area between orchards today which included a couple of species I didn’t recognise. Apparently one of the uses of both these plants is to attract pollinating insects, and the first one isn’t even a native species in Europe, so not so wild after all.

Lacey phacelia


Yellow sweet clover

Yellow rattle. I seededbthis in my lawn deliberately to weaken the grass, 3 years ago. Seed collected from a local verge.

I saw some beautiful Red Campion at the weekend but not sure what the blue flower is in the second picture, if anyone can enlighten me.
