19 April 2021

 

A sunny evening on the Green course, spoiled only by the dreadful quality of my golf.   A couple of flowers at opposite ends of the size spectrum.  Field mustard (also known as Wild Turnip) is growing out of one of the piles of sand near the greenkeepers huts:

The tiny Barren Strawberry grows behind the 14th tee and, as its name suggests, will not be providing any fruits later in the season.

Barren Strawberry Potentilla sterilis [14th Green]

Also look out for the Bulbous Buttercups on the edge of the 12th.  These are earlier than other buttercups and have characteristic reflexed sepals:
