The first of the true heather, it’s still coming out and mostly in tight bud. This shot shows a patch we found yesterday, it’s still only in patches. The bell heather can be seen on the left a much brighter colour and larger flowers. In the distance the early bell heather is in its death throws and will be gone in the next couple of weeks when the true ling comes through.
Better on black
Thank you for all your lovely comments and favs all are appreciated and welcome.
This is probably a first for me - to see heather up close like this. How wonderful it comes back year after year. It makes a lovely display in the landscape, as your past photos show.
