A nature conservation blog about the fauna and flora of Wilden Marsh Nature Reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest in the Lower Stour Valley, Worcestershire, England.
We saw these yesterday as we walked next to the River Erme, Roz said “What are those?”. I hadn’t a clue, thanks for the answer. I may post my shot later today.

One of my photos caught a bee as it was about to fly into one of these flowers. Great shot.

I know it’s an invasive alien (it’s a real pest along the River Wey where I live) but it’s ever such a pretty alien! 😉
