Spotting wildflowers out walking in Seaford
Wildflowers and health walks

I try and walk for my health every day. I only do about half an hour but it seems to be enough. Sometimes I do a bit of mindfulnessAMP at the same time.

Most times I follow the same route past the cemetery heading out of Seaford, through a lime walk and towards the fields.

I’m not a botanist – if it’s not flowering I’m afraid I’m not interested!

January – February – March Wildflowers

For the first part of the year I was struggling with using a rubbish LG phone to take pics (my DSLR is a bit bulky to take on a health walk in my opinion).

Violet
Speedwell
I’m a sucker for a daisy as it’s the name of my dried flowers shop
Winter heliotrope

April Flowers

By this time I was starting to get quite irritated with my phone camera, so the quality is even more patchy.

Alkanet coming in to flower
Herb robert
Lamium – dead-nettle
Alexanders
Honesty – where I live this is more likely to be a garden escapee I guess

May – June Blooms

The first image shows I was resorting to applying digital filters to my pics to try and get a decent image. Then after that I bought an Honor which has a fantastic camera except it renders scarlet as crimson (see second image)

Growing in July

The flowers I was spotting in July seemed to be the old thugs which don’t succumb to a spot of drought.

Yellow ragwort and purple buddleia on some waste ground

The Holly and the Ivy – it’s surprising how often I spot these together. The ivy berries are just starting to form
