Saw this flowery bank in Stevenage, one of the post-war "new towns". Red Clover, Dandelions, Buttercups, Daisies and Bird's-foot Trefoil create a pleasingly pastoral haze among the grasses. The council seems to have made a policy decision to hold off mowing some of their roadside verges and open areas. As a result the kind of plants associated with meadows and grasslands are getting a chance to thrive.

 Or perhaps it's just that nature is more rampant than the mowers at the moment. We had a lot of rain in May and plenty of sun in June and even urban areas are looking like Albion.
