Bugloss flowers, Newbridge

Alkanet flowers, Newbridge

These bugloss-type plants has been flowering for some time, and still had its flowers with their delicate shades of blue at the end of August.

The plants were growing among the other vegetation by the towpath of the Staffs & Worcs canal: this one was at Newbridge.
