A small collection of late July flowers, photos taken on our walk on 27th July 2026. Enjoy…
Two invasive plants but so very different 🔼 Himalayan Balsam invades and clogs our waterways. But the bees love it and it’s so pretty 🔽 A Bramble Briar entwined with bindweed. Here’s another pretty flower, and the bees love this too and we love its berries. But it shows up all over the place and is nigh impossible to eradicate
Wetland delights 🔼 Up close and personal with Purple Loosestrife 🔽 Reedmace surviving, yet the ground is dry enough to support Ragwort and Thistles ⏬ Looking like an orchid, this Marsh Woundwort likes it damp
Two yellow flowered plants 🔼 Common Fleabane and 🔽 no longer in flower so I can’t give you a definite ID but my guess is Birdsfoot Trefoil
Two healing herbs 🔼 St John’s Wort, still used today for depression and anxious 🔽 Yarrow, one time used to staunch blood flow
Into the edibles. Maybe! 🔼 Wild Carrot. It might be the grandma of today’s carrots but you’d have to be desperate to make a meal of its root 🔽 Sloe might vaguely resemble a plum but… draws a mouth tighter than a purse!
🔽 Giving us a taste of what’s to come next week. Yellow Water-Lily (squint hard, it’s there 😁)
And that is all for this week. More next week. But don’t forget Friday Flyers












Those flowers look very awesome, and I like the yellow flowered plants. The yellow water-lily is also so pretty. Thank you so much for sharing a little tour of late July flowers, I enjoyed it. ☺️

Thank you, Dale. I try to vary them but, as one of my longest followers, you’ve probably walked all these walks before

Minor…disabilities are creeping up on me with the cycling of years. In consequence I’m having to look for shorter walks. I miss the longer ones but one has to cut the coat according to the fabric (there speaks a former dressmaker!)

Thanks. It’s my feet. Well, one. But I’m walking–until I absolutely can’t. And that’s not yet

I rest it as much as possible between walks. And generally treat it with tender loving care!
