On the verge: the highlights

Well, you have certainly found some stunning road verges this week!

The featured image is of a glorious carpet of Wood Anemones, Anemone nemerosa snapped by @KateGold24

Throughout the week you have spotted a profusion of Primroses, Cowslips, Cuckoo flowers, Bluebells and Wood Anemones!

This charming Pembrokeshire verge was photographed by @JonathanPembs

@dolly_and_dj found this lovely carpet of Sweet Violets, Viola odorata growing alongside a busy bypass!

The eagle-eyed amongst you managed to spot Danish Scurveygrass, Cochlearia danica as featured in last week’s podcast episode. This one was found by @PinkfootedGus on the central reservation of the A96.

Many of you also found a diminutive plant which is often overlooked.

The lovely Ground Ivy, Glechoma hederacea, a frequent resident of roadside verges. Up close the flowers are beautiful. This fabulous image was captured by wildflowerhour member @Barbus59

Lastly to finish this gorgeous verge full of Primrose, Primula vulgaris Spotted by @rosebroadly
