Nature and the neighbourhood
Knapweed
The purplish-pink fine-petalled flowers of Common Knapweed (Centaurea nigra) are starting to open up in the Charlton Down Nature Reserve. They look a bit like thistles among the taller grasses. The flower buds look strange with their dark brown spikey bracts. Insects love the flowers.

Jessica, Thank you for setting up this blog. Your photographs are absolutely fantastic, I’m certainly noticing wildflowers more when I’m out on my walks
Thank you, Sue. I am so pleased that you like the photographs and find the blog interesting. There is a lot to enjoy in the countryside around Greenwood House and Charlton Down.
