Some chalk downland flowers, yesterday:
Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria).
Red Bartsia (Bartsia odontites)
An Early Bumble Bee (Bombus pratorum) on some Field Scabious (Knautia arvenis). I have no idea why an early bumble bee is called that, although the field scabious was definitely in a field.
Greater knapweed (Centaurea scabiosa)
Restharrow (Ononis repens)
Common toadflax (Linaria vulgaris).
This was all on Bradbury Rings, an iron age fort now managed by the National Trust. Managed very well on this evidence.
