Yes, but only the third photo (and yours) shows a flower in the shape of a bell.The photos aren't labelled and I don't know which is which.
Nice.Bell heather showing well on Conwy Mountain, with Carneddau ponies.
Thanks to Conwy Valley Ramblers for these pics, taken yesterday.
Ling heather to follow!
Gorse.Nice.
Do you know what the yellow flower amongst the heather is?
Unwired?broods drawn out and starting to fill.
That's interesting. We have gorse here, which I thought was the same as the one over there, but it only seems to flower through winter and spring. This was one a few weeks back.Gorse.
We have a saying here "Gorse is in flower when kissing is in favour". All the time!
I think we have a couple of varieties which flower at different times, hence why you will always find gorse in flower, somewhere.That's interesting.

Fantastic to see.The heather flow is at a stand still here in the Mournes, the ling has yet to really start although nearly in full flower now, bees were still working the bell last weekend. Frames starting to get capped.
