Yes beautiful fragranceBird cherry?
Does it smell?
Agree, bird cherry.Bird cherry?

Cowslips around here have been greatly increasing for the last few years so we have several grass road verges with quite thick carpets. Presumably they seed freely. The waxing and waning of plant and animal species is endlessly fascinating: gold finches are now our most numerous garden bird. Never see sparrows in our garden.I’m not sure if bees forage on cowslips but I couldn’t resist this picture.
