The Wildflower Meadow

Today, we and  some friends did a lot of work in our local wildlife area, scything and strimming an area full of hogweed, to allow a more varied selection of plants to grow  through .
The photo is of the  wildflower meadow which we have been managing for some years now, which includes Yellow Rattle to weaken the grasses, Ox Eye daisies, Knapweed and, more  recently, Pyramidal orchids. 
I blipped the  bench and this  area back in March when  it looked rather  different.The New Bench & wildflower meadow
