Walk on the Wildflower Side
We’ve been having adventures down our small lane and learning about different flowers.
The pictures show how fast the variety of flowers is changing. The top ones were taken on Friday and the bottom ones just a few days later on Wednesday! Since the first one, all the red poppies have blossomed.
A few months ago, our neighbour was inspired by recent television programmes about wildflower habitats. He dug up a strip of turf (3m by 1m) at the end of our lane and sowed a wildflower mixture.
The children and I have been watching its growth and are now loving the colourful flowers that we see on our way to school every day. We’re also trying to identify the different flowers we can see and head down the lane with wildflower guidebooks in hand. So far, we’ve found poppies, cornflower, scabious but there are many more. It’s changing every day so we keep going back!
