Hi Guys

I have a meadow that is alive with bees at the moment..
I know the purple flower is a green manure called Purple Tansey, but I can't figure out what the yellow one is. It has the most beautiful sweet smell and the place is covered in it! I have attached a photo showing the yellow flower.

Thanks
Robert

Thanks Finman. I never even thought of the rape, as there's none in our locailty.
 
"as there's none in our locality"

except for your meadow!!!!!!



our meadow has gone over now. shoulder/head high grass awaiting first cut of the year.
 
yellow one looks more like Brassica napus, or oilseed rape to me.
