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.

I have been photographing these tiny wee insects on several plants. They are Pollen Beetles – how aptly named. I also took ages trying to identify this flower but I think it’s a Cat’s Ear. I particularly like the edges of each of the petals.

What a difference a few weeks makes. When I first saw this at the beginning of June it was quite small. It has grown significantly since then. We can now see all the different layers. It is a really stunning yellow.

These are beautiful flowers but they don’t last long so I was pleased to see this flower and then get it photographed before the petals fell.

This is on a grassy bank which is covered with both native and introduced species. This particular plant was hiding behind some other plants. I really like the colours with the blue and almost crimson in the centre. I also quite like the “messiness” of the blue flowers.

I’ve rarely seen Noble Fir cones lying on the ground, so was really pleased to come across this one lying not far from the Noble Fir tree. I really like the structure of these with the seeds and the rougher bracts. It was only when I was looking at this in more detail that I realised that it is the female tree which produces cones.

I really liked how the central flower was in full flower and on either side of it were much smaller flower buds. I think it is part of the Hypericum family but am unable to identify the specific species.

This was one of the first Foxglove plants to flower. However, since then there have been many others flowering in any of the different parts of the woodland. I really like the shape and pattern on these flowers.

This year has been excellent for the elder plants and their flowerheads are looking spectacular. Every tree is laden with flowers.
