The Harebell Scylla nutans makes the ground blue in some places.

Bulbous Crowfoot Ranunculus bulbosus.

Creeping Crowfoot R. repens now common.

Upright Meadow Crowfoot R. acris the latest of all.

Rough Crowfoot R. hirsutus not so common as the above. The fields are quite yellow with the above genus.

Meadow Lychnis Lychnis Flos Cuculi.

Campion Lychnis Lychnis dioica under hedges in our chalky soils.

Germander Speedwell Veronica chamaedris on banks, covering them with its lively blue, comparable only to the Borage, or the Cynoglossum Omphalodes, still blowing and luxuriant in gardens.

Mousear Scorpion Grass Myosotus Scorpioides.

Our Lady’s Smock Cardamine pratensis.
