As we pass through mid-May, a walk along Ladies Mile, which runs alongside Knutsford Heath, has revealed an astonishing display of wildflowers, showcasing the beauty of nature in full bloom. Keith Griffiths from Knutsford identified fifteen different species, each contributing to a vibrant tapestry of colours and life along the path.
The wildflowers spotted include:
These flowers were not only abundant but also accompanied by a lively array of bees and moths, busy at work among the blossoms. This thriving ecosystem is a delightful sight and a hopeful sign of the positive impact of the ongoing conservation efforts.
