Wild flowers near Pitch "Hoot"

Mowing part of the meadow today

Clumps of Alchemilla Mollis around the meadow to the left of "Hoot"





The pyramid orchids are starting to show through,
we try & mow the meadow around them.



During the next few weeks, hundreds of them will flower.




Loads of self set Ash trees growing now on this "Orchid" meadow,



it was just a farmers' dump for rotting potatoes before we owned it.




Also in flower just now in this area are the yellow and the purple comfrey.






The walk around the edge has a few large boulders,
these are the original Hillend Aerodrome,
put here before we owned the land.
They now form attractive punctuation points around the meadow walk.
