Articles about local plant life, particularly the flora found on the now relatively rare unimproved limestone grassland of the Common.
Not exactly local but we went for a walk to Clattinger Farm yesterday and the Fritillaries were lovely.
Also Green-winged Orchids just coming through, as they are on Minchinhampton Common.
We had our first sighting of this year's orchids today, both Early Purple and Green-winged (though we were told of a sighting last weekend). They are still few, far between and only just showing flowers, but now coming through in a number of the usual locations through which we passed.

Our first sighting of a bluebell this Spring - part of a small group in Box Woods. True! It is not a very vigorous specimen - but a real sign Spring is on the way.
Showing the distribution of a type of flora.
