Germander Speedwell ( Veronica chamaedrys )
A quick shot of one of the flowers in the Amber Nook "wildflower meadow". The wildlife trusts have a "30 days wild" challenge for June. They encourage doing something wild every day in June. This can be anything from going for a walk in the country, listening to bird song wilding your garden etc. Last year I tried to blip something wild each day, but obviously not this year.
Germander Speedwell is a common little blue flower often seen in grassland. They can be up to 50cm (20") but the height seems to depend on the surrounding vegetation, for obvious reasons. It is a European native plant. Historically it has been used to make a "tea" which was reputedly a cure for gout.
