BIRD'S EYE WITH HAIRY LEGS

Germander Speedwell is also known as Bird's Eye as it looks out at you from the grass.


It is the largest of our speedwells 
and there is a way of testing to be sure it is Germander Speedwell.


It has two rows of hairs along the stem.  
Hold it against the light one way and the hairs are almost invisible.  


Twist it 90 degrees in your fingers and the two rows of hairs appear.
