Buttercup

As we head towards the end of May, the fields are filled with Buttercups.

This morning's walk, took us through this field, enabling a closer look.

Through Mapperley and along the 'Donkey Walk', the meadows are also tinged with Buttercup yellow.

It's also time for the Ivy-leaved Toadflax to start showing its hand. This small clump was growing on the dam wall of Osborne's Pond a few days ago.

Among the grasses at the edges of the footpaths, Speedwells are producing lots of flower too. We used to know these as 'Birdseyes' when we were kids.

And of course, the Cow Parsley is still looking spectacular. Here, growing along Slack Lane beside more beautiful Buttercups.
