In bloom now by a canal near you, a delicate specimen of pink wildflower. With some minimal research I pondered if these wildflowers are great hairy willow herbs or maybe grass vetchling? I am quite likely to be wrong and await correction from any passing botanists... Spotted on the Shropshire canal.
Update 27 May: I think Deb (Ginnels Gates and Ghosts, a York Daily photo) is right when she suggests these are in fact Red Campion.
No idea what it is, but it does look nice!
ReplyDeleteThey're very pretty. I thought at first it was one of the campions but the petals are the wrong shape.
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty!
ReplyDeletewow you know a lot of flowers, thanks for teaching me about the name of this gorgeous flower.I like a lot the pink light color, it's beautiful indeed!
ReplyDeleteHugs and a nice week ahead,

If it has 5 petals (each almost divided in two) my guess would be Red Campion as they are in flower just now.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for this joy for the sense of sight !
ReplyDeletePlease have a good new week ahead.
There are pinks I like and pinks I don't like. This wildflower is pretty, especially against that fresh green.
