Looking back over the entries of the past week it strikes me they are as much about habitats as wildflowers. That meadow of Buttercups must never have been sprayed or hardly ever. The anthills and Speedwells on Oughtonhead Common are indicative of an ancient turf. The Hawthorne thicket has spread from the remains of a hedgerow on the brow of Knocking Hoe. The Wild Clary exists on a couple of grassy areas that have survived within urban expansion.
