White flowers of Hedge Bedstraw (Gallium mollugo) and pink flowers of Narrow-leaved Everlasting-pea (Lathyrus sylvestris). These two plants occur separately and also entwined together at the Newport Wetlands this July. Either way they looked good. I often wonder to what extent plants grow naturally on these kinds of nature reserves or whether they are judiciously planted.
They are growing so beautifully together. Lovely share.

I sometimes wonder that. Some plants seem to have a natural affinity, so you see them growing together everywhere, but this is a new pairing for me.

I love the names of these flowers. As I do many others. Descriptive and yet fanciful.

That’s a lot of the everlasting pea, did you see leafcutter bees on it?
