2. Gorse. Just look at those flowers against that sky! Careful though - it’s covered in spikes. Smells like a day at the beach.

Whoops - here’s the pic!

13/26 Half way there! Now this little flower is easily overlooked. It’s Shepherd’s Purse, and if zoom in you can see little purse-shaped seed cases! They look like to us. #twopointsixchallenge @bowelcanceruk

14/26 Buttercups! This is the bulbous variety and they have very reflective petals. Hold one under your chin and if it glows yellow, custom has it that you like butter! #twopointsixchallenge @bowelcanceruk #fundraising #teambowelcancer

15/26 BREAKING: Here’s the first Red Campion! Found in woodland and waysides, we’re expecting to see lots more in the coming days. Exciting to find something new!

16/26 First sighting of Cukooflower, or Lady’s Smock. Folklore says it’s a favourite of the fairies so its unlucky to pick it. And it’s the county flower of #Cheshire.
