The Grassland is left uncut to feed the Bees and the Butterflies
Someone mentioned the wild flowers and grasses down at my local country park were looking really good, so I popped down for #beautifulsunday initiated by 
There were lots of
great burnet or 'red thunder' about which looked good next to the green foliage. They are like little pom-poms, and the bees seem to really like them. If you rub the leaves between your fingers they smell a little bit like cucumber. I might get a few seeds for my communal garden.
The knapweed, looks like a thistle and very common here at this time of year. It does attract butterflies, but sadly, I didn't see many today.
I was taking a photo of a bee on the knapweed, and the hover fly shooed it off.
The bee came back, though! It doesn't matter how common the wild flowers and plants are it's good that they attract bees and butterflies. It's much better now the council don't mow the grass and just let nature take its course for a while. It will be left uncut till late on in the summer (if we have one).
The giant hogweed can obviously grow quite tall. It is best to avoid it as it can cause harmful burns on your skin.
Hopefully, if and when the sun comes out, the place will look a lot better with more wildflowers, butterflies like the lovely peacock above and of course, more bees.
