Growing by a hedge a few days ago.

The plant was among the vegetation growing overhanging the Staffs & Worcs canal.

Caught at the stage where the top of the plant looks like an elaborate crozier.

It wasn’t possible to move in for a close-up: these plants were in one of the fenced-off beds under trees in West Park.

The grey and yellow lichens were so closely intertwined they almost seemed to be growing on each other.

When the buttercups begin to flower, I usually think spring is starting to give way to summer. With the weather this year, I am not so sure.
