I will start with this photo, just because it is lovely – Pepper and Monster having a chat, ie Pepper wants to sit on my lap but Monster has already got there first and is not budging.
Anyway, we all went for a walk over to Clothie – my five acre croft across the scattald (open hill). When I say “all”, Ted didn’t come too because he was busy with OH doing something useful, I think. I gave up asking Ted.
Anyway, I had an intrepid explorer.
While Monster and Pepper were busy hunting, I was photographing the emerging spring flowers.
Cat’s Ear – how apt!
Tormentil, I think.
Cuckooflower or Lady’s Smock (one of my favourites)
I have no idea what this weed is. I looked it up and the internet said “Duckweed” but then it said none grows in Shetland so I am none the wiser. It looks like Mind-your-own-business ( Soleirolia soleirolii) but that’s not a water plant. Anyone? Help, please.
And then there is the very creepy bubbling pond weed. That was a little weird, even by my standards and there was lots of it all in the stagnant ditches. It looked like a science experiment in a horror movie.
Red Campion which is never red and always very pink.
Spring Squill
And then we walked home.
If I have given out wrong flower species information, please correct me. I hate false information on the internet.
