What a beautiful photo. Do you know what the flowers are? They look so exotic and delicate.

[Blackbird9 in reply to Alberta56]

Thanks lovley... its a wild forest flower unsure of name but they spring up around this time and quickly get eaten by livestock 💚💚

[Patk1 in reply to Blackbird9]

Absolutely beautiful xx

[Blackbird9 in reply to Patk1]

Thankyou ❤️

[Alberta56 in reply to Blackbird9]

We don't get flowers like that in East Anglian woods. The soil must be too alkaline. Our speciality is the rare oxlip, a relation of the primrose and cowslip. Unfortunately all these plants interbreed like mad, so you get false oxlips popping up, even in my garden. They're very pretty, but I'd love to get to the New Forest before the livestock have eaten all your blossoms. xxxx

I was going to ask the same question Alberta56 as I have never seen this flower before, it really is lovely, must try looking it up x

[Izb1 in reply to Alberta56]

Think they be a wild violet x

[Blackbird9 in reply to Izb1]

If you find out let me know it's like the yellow flowers on the gorse the most prickly bushes create these little yellow flowers looks like a buttercup shape but the ponies munch them down as quick as they appear 💛

[Izb1 in reply to Blackbird9]

Just looked up these little yellow flowers and they are beautiful. The flowers themselves are edible in small quantities and are sometimes added to brides bouquets, learn something new everyday eh! x

[Alberta56 in reply to Izb1]

We have violets round here, but they are tiny compared to these beauties.xxx
