#71 - Saxifrage and Cranesbill Leaf Rosette

Of course, not being very botanically minded, the children and I just called these 'pretty round leaves'. It was my daughter, the big one, who kept noticing the purple hearted saxifrage leaves growing in the meadow grass. Later on, we walked through some woodland and saw the lacy edged cranesbill leaves, also practically under our feet and also, co-incidentally, round. It's tricky identifying leaves without any sort of flower so I may be wrong of course. Noticing all these lovely things growing in the grass yesterday made me think of the Yeats poem, "I have spread my dreams under your feet; tread softly because you tread on my dreams."
