#324 - Speedwell on Bark

Spring is late this year, the Speedwell is only just appearing in the grass. The flowers look as though they have been painted with watercolours, a wash of delicate blue and then a hint of pale violet so that they are sometimes one colour and sometimes the other.

#235 - Veronica

Not sure quite what kind of Speedwell this is, not a creeping variety as it was as tall as the buttercups on the banks of the stream - but what blues and violets and mauves. I like other colours but blues actually fill me up with happiness, no really, they do.

#179 - Speedwell

On our way to the park we pass a long grassy bank which has suddenly sprung a mass of tiny, creeping flowers of the most exquisite blue. Speedwell.
