Mid-Season

Many of the favourite flowers have gone, leaving ripening fruit behind. But it's good that newcomers arrive in mid season and are easy to find. Where would we be without the enormous daisy family to entertain us and tease our abilities to identify. I did wish that Wall Lettuce could have a better name. It manages to be both delicate and statuesque.

The Umbellifers are essential to the wayside too.  By now we're into the phase of Hogweed and Ground Elder, before Angelica makes its appearance.
