Sheep's-Bit
Sheep's-Bit / jasione montana. Minsmere, Suffolk. 14/08/20.
A close-up of a single Sheep's-Bit flowerhead.
There were plenty of them to be found along the margin between dunes and beach. Sheep's Bit is low growing and incredibly beautiful. Apparently the flowers are a special feature of the dune grassland between Minsmere and Sizewell and I must have walked past thousands and thousands over the years, without a second glance.
Discovering something amazing like this, then taking time to look at it carefully, makes me glad to have cast off my 'birds only blinkers' and open up new horizons!
