I had a pleasant walk this morning through wild flower meadows in the Meon valley (north of Fareham) and saw these:


 





It's been a slow start to the season with a cold May holding things back. I count flower species as I go, and although this isn't systematic (walks in different places on different dates) I normally record the first sighting of 60+ species in flower by mid-May, some years even in late April. This year the first 60+ was on the 6th June; today I saw 72.

Henbane, this intriguing plant is one of my favourite wild flowers.


 


This looks likes some kind of mint, possibly a nepeta.

Rampion and clustered bellflower, a couple of the more unusaul flowers to be found at Coulters Dean reserve (Just off the S Downs Way on the Sussex/Hampshire border; earlier in the season there are lots of different orchids)
