Wild arum, flower not yet open

Wild arum, flower not yet open

Wild arums are found commonly growing under hedgerows and in other shady spots. They are so distinctive to have attracted a whole series of common names, including lords and ladies, cuckoo pint and jack in the pulpit.

Here the leaf-like protective hood was still tightly wrapped around the upright spadix with its flowers.

Watchful lambs

Lamb keeping eye contact

More lambs I noticed on the same walk when I took the pictures in the previous post. These were all alert and watching that I wasn’t a threat to them.

Lambs, napping in pairs

Lambs napping

I went for a walk in the Worfe valley downstream of Worfield, looking for bluebells in the woods in that area. The walk led me through or past several fields with young lambs.

These two pairs were in a field at Rindleford, asleep, each using another one as a pillow.

I found bluebells too: some feature in this selection.
