More flowers

I failed to photograph any Oxlips at Bradfield Woods yesterday, so instead, here's a cowslip from Moreton Hall's Cowslip meadow, as featured on the Bury in Bloom website.


Here's a worms-eye view of the park opposite W's nursery. It's a good year for daisies!


Getting up off the ground you will see this clematis montana "Elizabeth" all over the Moreton Hall area - most noticable at this time of year when all the plants burst into bloom at the same time.


Is it a local thing? Why is there so much of it? I know it's a fast grower, but why is it in what seems to be just about everybody's garden? I think we should be told.
