Hemp agrimony that is flowering now in damp ditches, the ox-eye daisy that lights up motorway embankments in late spring, the butterbur that produces strange spikes of late winter flowers before the huge leaves appear in grass verges in spring and summer, the colourful knapweeds and cornflowers that light up meadows in summer - the list is endless and startling in its diversity.
