Nettles bracket plantains in flower as they all grow on the edge of the canal at Castlecroft.

Well-established and well-trained wisterias are striking in spring when pale purple flowers contrast with the yellowish colour of the new leaves. One such is growing across the front of the Mermaid Inn on Bridgnorth Road.

The flowers on true nettles are small and inconspicuous. These were approximately purple in colour.

Crab apples flowers with a fly exploring one of the petals.

Pink campion flowers on a plant growing on a local woodland floor. The hairs on the leaves and stem will be to protect the plant from being eaten.
