Not really wild, but spotted on Saturday in the Haulfre Gardens. A hopeful sign of Spring ? ;D

No I don't think so, I think they are either bugle or self heal.

I thought you might like these Jack. We were up at a higher level, about 6000 feet to see these gorgeous alpines.

Wow, thanks for sharing Hollins. Those gentians are such a vivid blue - such a contrast with the greens and yellows.  The butterflies are small tortoiseshell and Swiss brassy ringlet.

Thanks Jack. I thought you would probably answer the butterfly question faster than I could google it!

Apologies if you have seen enough wild flowers but as it is quiet on here, (these are the last, promise) from a river walk with mum.
