Elder is now out making maximum effect. To achieve this it wisely waits until rowan and hawthorn are no longer flowering.
With cow parsley past its peak, and cotton grass as well, the white effect is carried on by elder and, more mutedly, by bedstraw.
Bedstraw is everywhere and welcome on ground now increasingly greened over by bracken.
The climbing corydalis spotted clinging to bracken last September occupies a larger area than I had thought. It could be that I had not looked closely having assumed that anything small and white was bedstraw.
