On July 13th, I went to visit the area and found that there were lots of wild flowers in bloom. As we are only topping the grass once or twice per year, and we do not have the possibility of raking the grass cuttings, it is heartening to see the development of so many flowering species, thriving in competition with the grasses.
Marsh Woundwort
Yarrow
Meadow Buttercup and Silverweed
Oxeye Daisies and Marsh Thistle
Catsear
There are also a lot of Common Knapweed which provide a lengthy season of nectar in July and August.
