Went for a roll* down to Cosmeston Lakes and spotted these wildflowers along the way.
- Dactylorhiza fuchsii - the common spotted orchid.
- Vicia cracca - tufted vetch, pea family.
- Stachys sylvatica - hedge woundwort, mint family.
- Iris foetidissima - stinking iris, named coz if crushed it can smell bad!

*roll - with my mobility scooter
Tufted vetch, a flower with pinky-purple tube shapes that turn up into a hood at the end and grow in dense clusters along one side of the flower spike.
Hedge woundwort - a nettle-like plant with tall burgundy-magenta flowering spikes with widely-spaced whorls of flowers.
