What Flowers Might we Expect?

An established meadow might have dozens of species of grasses and flowers. These will have arrived naturally over years. In our case we need to introduce these ourselves. Ideally we would use locally gathered seeds in order to maintain local DNA.


One of the fascinating aspects is watching the succession of flowers through the months: some will bloom in early spring, and will be followed by others until late August.

Some examples are shown here. The proposal document shows many others that might be expected.
