 Knocking Hoe is speckled with Speedwells at the moment.



 Sometimes called Germander Speedwell, sometimes known as Bird's Eye Speedwell, Veronica chamaedrys in the Latin. The dainty blue flowers can be prolific in grassland, tiny but lovely.



 Speedwells were dotted among Cowslips over the knolls of Knocking. On the village green in nearby Pirton another combination: Speedwells, Daisies and Buttercups.
