Mystery flowers

One of my aims for next year is to learn the names of more of our wild flowers.  I know very few by name but the variety is amazing.  These were all encountered on a short walk in the dunes at Druridge Bay this week.  I think I can name about 20%.

    More challenges! The flowers out of context are interesting! Hard to ID for me too. I'll be worse than you!

      Thanks Ian. It isn't fair really to put only close-ups of the flowers without showing the plants but I was interested in the contrast and variety of the shapes and colours. The ones I knew for sure were ragwort, vipers bugloss, clover, teasel and campion. I'll try to do better next year.
