Summer wildflowers

At this time of year, there is so much to see on our walk to the woods. The children have become very aware of how the flora differs on the fringes of the woodland where the sun reaches down to the field layer, compared to the shaded areas under the dense canopy of the centre of the wood.

Waheed in particular, has taken a keen interest in collecting samples of flora on our walk and combining them into striking floral displays.

Before picking any flowers we are always careful to ensure that we have identified that they are not harmful to us (such a foxgloves or giant hogweed), are not a protected species (such as bluebells) and that they are in plentiful supply so that we do not negatively impact the biodiversity of the area.

Can you identify any of the flowers in Waheed's arrangement?
