Hi all, This post in the interest of science! ;D Been out walking in the Dales and for some reason this year there is a mega crop of buttercups. They are in almost every field and some of them so dense it looks like rape seed from a distance! Never seen buttercups like this before. Also there are great big carpets of bluebells not just in the woods but on the sides of hills. I was wondering if its like this in any other parts of the country as well as here? I think it must be the result of the freaky weather we've had lately as I've never seen anything like it before. This pic (not mine) shows them outside Muker where I've been today: More pics on this link: www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2338970/For-change-yellow-peril-rapeseed-keeping-country-colourful-Bumper-crop-buttercups-late-start-summer.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

Yep it's the same down here. Last month we had an explosion of Dandelions and the same yellow fields. Unfortunately, we then had millions of seeds floating everywhere

Do you have the bluebells the same Rosie?
The cow parsely (Shepherd's beard) is also rampant. In fact I've never seen the countryside so lush and green.
