Dandelions Everywhere
Yellow dandelions are appearing all over Somerset.
Dandelions
Dandelions close their flowers in the cold and dark. Despite there being millions of flowers the weather has been so bad that catching them open has been difficult.
On occasion, the sun has appeared the sky is blue and the view over to Somerset villages across the fields has been fabulous.
More dandelions than you can count.
When I talk to others about these flowers the most common response is why the fields have not been sprayed. But, I love them.
I do appreciate they can be pest taking over the landscape. But a single flower can be beautiful.
And finally…
When you look close they are a maze of details just as this tiny aphid that I only noticed back home on the computer.
Hi Jeff,
I’m wondering if you could give me the location for the field in Shepton Mallet?
Hi, These pictures around the edge of Canard’s Grave near the roundabout. It will be too late for this year, but despite being a busy road it has beautiful wide verges for cowslips and dandelions. Thanks for your comment, Jeff
