Pride of Sussex, Round-headed Rampion.

The Round-headed Rampion, Phyteuma tenerum is the county flower of Sussex, known as the "Pride of Sussex".  Here it is on Wolstonbury Hill today with a couple of Burnet moths that were very active, in contrast with the blue butterflies, which were not.

Click on any picture to enlarge it.


And imagine how pleased I was to find a Bee Orchid near Wolstonbury!

This orchid was in perfect condition.
The Fly Orchid was finishing...
...with just one flower left.
What a great walk....
...with delicious free food too!
