One of the great features we have in our area (which is in The Chilterns on the
Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire border of England) are the massive displays of
bluebells which can be seen around Wendover Woods and Christmas Common
(and many other woods around here of course although those two areas have the best
showing we have come across). There has to be millions of these bluebells
carpettng the woods and they seem to increase and spread further every year.
Probably a few of the Wild Plants and Wild flowers we have photographed are
considered by some people to be "weeds" but most plants and flowers that
grow do have their nice side if you care to look.
Certainly the various flowers produced by nettles are really good and
a nice sized thistle is really worth a close look - not only for the colours
and textures but often for the various bees, wasps, butterflies and so on which
regularly visit them. Nettles are of course vital in a butterfly's life
cycle - we have a patch of wild garden at home and keep several small clumps of nettles
just for this reason.
Bluebells - These bluebell photographs were taken around the Christmas Common area in The Chilterns, England.
