Yarrow, Milfoil, Achillea millefolium For everything a season. So where are the hawthorn berries? I could find none yesterday on Scout Scar and Helsington Barrows- so I shall persevere. Has the crop failed? Blackthorn has green sloes and juniper has green berries- juniper whose fragrance I love.
And if the hawthorn crop of berries has failed up here, what happened- or did not happen?
There are floral motifs of the season. Deep purple betony amongst the bracken, thyme, lady's bedstraw and yarrow. No idea where the name yarrow comes from. Yarrow, milfoil, Achillea millefolium for its feathery leaves. I like its compact flower-heads in shades of pink and white and patterns as its buds form and burst into flower. Today, a moment of perfect symmetry.

The images of Achillea millefolium are taken to show calyx, budding and opening flowers and the feathery leaves on the stem of the plant.
Few butterflies on the wing today. Small heath and a rather washed-out and faded meadow brown. Swifts were swooping so low it was thrilling.
