Cowslip meadow

Very picturesque Sheila. You've had perfect weather for your 'wildflower walk'. Enjoy the Show!

Thanks Paul. Have to smile . . . I went back today to take the photos; last week on our walk we had wild winds, lashing rain and my umbrella was smashed!

Wow, what fun! (wink). I've had umbrellas ripped from my hand several times - even my big golf umbrealla! Never saw that one again.

yes it is a very good year for cowslips. the verges around our village are smothered in them. I love them too.
what a lovely area you live in Sheila.

Someone was actually selling cowslips on the Facebook local For Sale page. Around here it's been a good year for primroses also.

Thank you Eileen and Eirlys :)

I love these pics. The blue, green and yellow...spring’s epitome.

Beautiful trees and colourful meadows... lovely !

wWonderful photos I love cowslip reminded me of a field when I was young mum had a picnic for us sitting amongst them. Is the tree blossom a Black Cherry.

Thanks very much Karen, Terra and Thrupence :)

I've been told that the tree is Prunus padus, aka bird cherry.

How lovely and that tree is standing out beautifully in all its glory, there are a lot of cowslips and wild primroses around here, all along the verges and in the nature reserves, my neighbour literally has hundreds of them growing in her lawn, muggins didn't find out until after buying some off the man on the market, I wanted some for my stumpery, when the flowers go over she has told me I can go over and dig a few out if I want some more....

Yes! Forgot to say..bird cherry. Theres a lot of that in Scotland, but I never saw it before I came up here.

Lincs - in our last house I had cowslips growing all over the lawn, and was always digging them up and giving them away. Now (with new, empty garden) my friends are doing the same for me!

Wonderful to see all those cowslips :) I see a few in the hedgerows around here.

Thanks Hywel . . .
