  My flower for today is wood sorrel just because I know it will be over soon but looking at its best now. 

  Beautiful patch.....
  However not wood sorrel.... common name Oxalis.
  This is Galium odoratum..common name Sweet woodruff.

  Yes my mistake it’s sweet woodruff. I’m not great at remembering plant names!

  The picture doesn't do them justice but the cirsium flowers are such a vibrant red in the evening sun

  Mine isn’t a flower but I love it anyway.  A fern uncurling it’s fronds.  These in the pic remind me of a seahorse and a baby dragon !
