Wildflowers at Brockholes.

And some winged creatures.

It's Day 27 of 30 Days Wild and I’m going to share with you some of the other photos my humans took during their exploration of Brockholes on Sunday.

They saw some pretty wildflowers…I wonder if they’re edible… They haven’t told me what the plants are called and I suspect they have no idea about the names.

They especially liked these plants which have leaves that seem to burst out of alien-like pods.

Then there were the winged creatures. Although ladybirds are familiar, they’d never seen a stripy flying creature like this one.

Earlier in the year, my humans sowed some wildflower seeds at the back of the garden and have been unsure whether what's growing are wildflowers or just weeds. Maybe seeing all of these wildflowers will help when they head out to do some gardening at the weekend.
