Another day, another hillside
Sainfoin, Onobrychis viciifolia
Today I was back on Morn Hill, relatively briefly as I had a lot else to do. But as the weather's gone back to being so lovely (cooler, some clouds, but beautiful sunshine) how can you just do boring stuff all day if you don't have to?
This blip is of sainfoin, which flowered profusely here in June but is suddenly having a small but significant second flowering. So pretty, isn't it?
Thanks, as always to BikerBear for hosting FlowerFriday.
Not a lot else to report. In fact probably nothing else you want to hear so let's leave it there. That means I can stop blathering and listen to the News Quiz. And it's Friday night ;-))) Have a fantastic weekend xx
