Post 21:
In the summer, 40 Acre Field is a sea of yellow meadow buttercup
Ranunculus acris. From this point we have a good view over
London.
Wembley Stadium is clear on the right, but can you find the Shard, the
BT Tower and the London Eye? On a clear day one can see the North Downs
beyond the London basin.
Flowers to see in the grassland in spring and summer include
creeping buttercup Ranunculus repens, cuckoo flower Cardamine pratensis,
common vetch Vicia sativa and greater stitchwort Stellaria holostea.
