Stone wall, well covered in moss and with a variety of plants, including primroses flowering. The wall was in the village (or perhaps hamlet) of Roughton off the Wolverhampton – Bridgnorth road, and the pictures were taken in late April 2015
Former sandstone quarry by the River Worfe, near the village of Rindleford outside Bridgnorth.
Nowadays, the quiet spot is accessible only by a footpath which runs between the quarry and the river.
It’s not a nettle, not dead, and the flowers are somewhat off-white. But the plant’s general shape and leaves look like a nettle. “Dead” just means it doesn’t sting – because it isn’t a nettle. And the flowers are whitish (a related type is called the red dead nettle, though the flowers look a bit purple to me).
Lesser black backed gulls lining up on the rail around West Park’s boating lake, ready to pounce from close by if anyone should start offering bread for the birds.
Azaleas, a more shade-loving group of relatives of rhododendrons, like them often planted in parks. These purple flowers were on a plant by one of the entrances to West Park.
Some of the narcissus when they were at the peak of their flowering in West Park at the start of this month.
