Flowers for All Saints Day

Even on a wet November day I found a dozen wild flowers at Filnore Woods

The last of the red clover

 Bramble, probably too late to set fruit

Tufted vetch with a tendril at the end of each leaf

Herb Robert - look at the seedpods

 Creeping thistle, defended by those spiny leaves

 Something from the dandelion tribe - maybe a Catsear

 Ragwort - we didn't pull all of it up, it seems

  

Ivy flowers (yellow) just turning into berries (green) 

which will later turn black

 Rather faded Yarrow

 White deadnettle

Hogweed is one of my favourites although it is a bit invasive

I like the Y-shaped petals on the outside of each flower cluster, - like rabbit's ears

But as it produces all these seeds, it grows everywhere

It's so well designed, so that every little flower gets the maximum sunlight.  And incidentally this elegant and statuesque structure is the result.

And this green stuff, which later becomes brown and stiff, as you can see in the background, is the flower head of dock.

Yes those really are flowers.
