Now that the horses are no longer using the field I have a growing meadow and a chance to spot the flowers that are there. So far I have logged field buttercup, white dead-nettle, garlic mustard, ribwort plantain, cow parsley, common sorrel, stinging nettle, scented mayweed, broad-leaved dock, red clover, self heal, common knapweed, common mouse ear, white clover and yesterday ox-eye daisy (pictured). Nothing unusual but it makes for an attractive meadow scene. I am slightly surprised there are not higher insect densities given the flowers that are now flowering. Maybe they will take a year to build up.
