A break from rants for a picture of one of my favourite British wildflowers, Gladdon (Iris foetidissima, also known as Wild Iris or Stinking Iris). Unlike may of its garden cousins the flowers have such subtle colours, a real beauty.
The plant itself is common and easily found along the North Downs but seeing it in flower is more difficult. It usually has three or four flowers on a stem but usually each only opens for a day especially in hot weather. I noticed this particular plant growing in dense scrub on Park Downs on Monday with the first bud just opening, by today all but one flower was going over.
