Cornish hedgerow (foxgloves and campions)
Hey, thanks Lewis. I think perhaps I should change the title as this image is meant to show the beauty of a Cornish hedgerow with its granite stones and mixture of flowers and leaves, not just individual blooms. I can see five different wild flowers but was showing off with just the names of the two I can identify. Wildflowers in a Cornish hedge. Becoming a rarer sight when farmers use weed killers and pesticides to kill off everything that doesn't turn a profit. Fortunately this part of the county has predominantly very small fields of four or five acres on steep hillsides so they are grazed by sheep or cattle rather than cultivated. Thus chemicals are not much used and we get to see Nature's beauty.
