Subject: BS:The wild garden of Wales
Apart from the common Michaelmas Daisies, Meadow Buttercups, White and Purple Clover, Trefoils, Vetch, Foxgloves, Campions, Herb Robert, Fireweed, Broom, Elderflower, Cow Parsley, Thistles (purple and yellow), Dandelions (and several other flowers that look very similar), Brambles and Dog Roses; there is a profusion of scarlet Poppies, another type of Poppy that lilac in colour, plus a similar looking plant, but with a red pom-pom flower like a Dahlia's (any ideas as to what that is?), and another crimson flower (probably from a domestic source originally) that can be seen in hedgerows all over the region, and huge banks of purple orchids.
Where?
Between J34 and J33 on the M4 eastwards. It makes sitting in a queue of commuter traffic worthwhile.
