The latest flowering of Frilford's specialities, Grass of Parnassus grows just short of the stream on the 4th of the Green. It has striking white flowers with green veins on the petals - there are around twenty plants, most of which were in bud this morning, but a couple were flowering.

A few metres away is Devil's bit Scabious. This has small globular purple flowerheads and it seems to prefer the damper conditions compared to the more numerous Field Scabious, which grows in the rough in drier areas.
