Wild flowers abound on
about 5 miles from Woolacombe
unfortunately I haven't a clue what this is called (bet somebody out there can help)
as with this flower
nowhere near a thistle!.....
(again if anyone can help) -
I think I need a book on wild flowers don't you.....

Can't help you with the name of the flowers, but they are gorgeous! Esp. the second one, never seen before.
These flowers are beautiful! I have no idea what they are though!
WOW! What great flowers in your part of the world! Have you painted them yet?
Awesome photos! Brilliant colors and clarity! ~ hugs and namaste, Carol ^_^
Hi Judy,
Annie,
Robin and Carol :
glad you like these photos, I will try to get round to painting them one day, but somehow I don't think I will do them justice, certainly the second one looks tricky!
I think the top one is Purple Loosestrife, well a variety of them anyway, we have them over this side of the pond, but they aren't native. The second one I don't know, I have wildflower books but only for the US/Canada and this isn't one of ours. Beautiful both of them.
Hi Kathy, Great...just looked up the Purple Loosestrife and I do believe you are spot on. Thanks so much for that.
Hi Ann! I think that's a loosestrife too but am unsure of the second. There is a book I saw when I Googled called the Wild flowers of Braunton Burrows which might be a buy for your bookshelves. There's some lovely painting material here.
Thanks Judith - I'll google the book, it sounds a good one especially for these unusual plants (of which there are many over at Braunton Burrows), cheers...ann.
Really great photos Ann. I love the shallow depth of field.
