Buttercups 2013

It seems to have been a good year for common buttercup species. The fields in and around Endon are carpeted with the yellow flowers of Creeping and Meadow buttercup. After walking though a field the folds of my walking boots are full of yellow pollen. Other plants with showy flowers also seem to be very floriferous this year, notably Cow Parsley and May blossom.
