Wolves Wild

Squirrel keeping low on short grass in West Park, catching the rays of the summer sun.

Knapweed: the flower looks like a thistle; some related species actually have spiky leaves – actually belong to the daisy / sunflower family.

One of the Northycote Farm lambs seemed to have decided that the only tasty patch of grass was right under a dock plant.

More escaped garden poppies – these had flowers which were various shades of purple.

Poppies which I came across in a variety of locations. The large flowers make it likely that the ones growing wild were escaped garden varieties.

Poppies. The pink petals, on double flowers, indicate these were probably from a garden variety, even though they were growing “wild”
