Chrisity May 2020 10:13pm, 27 May 2020 17,722 posts	0 Chrisity 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.

jacdaw May 2020 10:33am, 29 May 2020 3,062 posts	0 jacdaw 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.

Fragile Do Not Bend May 2020 1:25pm, 30 May 2020 6,073 posts	0 Fragile Do Not Bend 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
