I particularly like the Broom (Cytisus scoparius) in the spring as it looks really vibrant.

Clues in the trees! Woodland bear hunt was fab! The kids walked for miles, learned so much about woodlands and habitats and had bear themed cup cakes.

Alternative Perspectives - Fungi in Maryburgh Community Woodland ⋆ Alternative Perspectives

I always associate fungi with autumn but the fungi were appearing all year round. These are a few of the ones that are in the woodland.

Alternative Perspectives - A New Dawn ⋆ Alternative Perspectives

I want to share some of my blogs with you about the Maryburgh Community Woodland. I thought a good place to start would be to tell you a bit about how the community bought the local woodland. Then over the next few days I'll be looking at some of the plants and fungi that I've found in the woodland.

As I was gathering all the photos together I realised how many plants were in the same family - but they looked totally different. So I've pulled a page together with all the plant families.

I spent quite a lot of time experimenting taking photos of the clover at different angles. I particularly like this one as it’s an angle you rarely see. This was taken directly above the flowers. I really like their symmetry and how this allows us to see the structure of the flower.

What a beautiful little ground cover perennial plant. The new flowers are lovely with their yellow and coral stripes which then burst into the bright yellow mature flowers. They make a lovely contrast to the grasses all around. A really lovely little member of the native pea family.

This rhododendron (Rhododendron ponticum) always looks stunning in June. So, I just had to photograph it. I then heard the familiar buzz of a bee as it was collecting pollen. I am particularly happy with this shot of the bee as when you look closely you can see its proboscis in the plant.
