Our Head Ranger spotted these wonderful wild flowers around the grounds this week. Here's 3 interesting facts about them 👇
1️⃣ The pink and yellow one is known as Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) and is a relative of the potato and tomato. But beware... its other name, Black nightshade, reveals its poisonous nature!
2️⃣ Adorned with fuzzy dark pink petals, the Hedge woundwort (Stachys sylvatica) is a favourite of bees and its antiseptic properties are used to help the healing ...of wounds.
3️⃣ Certainly the prettiest of the three, the Pyramidal orchid (Anacamptis pyramidalis) can be used to make salep - a white starch-like powder used in drinks, cereals and bread making.
Keep an eye out and you might just spot them too!
