As always it’s great to receive any photos or pieces about meadows in Carmarthenshire. Our Lousewort (Pediculatris sylvayica) is still<\/strong> <\/em>flowering well, (and apologies for calling it Marsh Lousewort last time), and still<\/strong><\/em> attracting it least 3 species of bumblebees.\"\"<\/a> But more generally our hay meadow has now changed to a sea of Sweet Vernal grass and dandelion flower and seed heads…\"\"<\/a> A \u00a0week ago during a walk near Cwmtydu in Ceredigion we came across meadows dominated by Ribwort\/Lanceolate Plantain…\"\"<\/a> What does your meadow look like now?<\/p>\n
