If anyone could tell me the name of this flower I would be very grateful!
A brief departure from the landscape genre today, we have a cute factor intermission. I took this quite sometime ago and just found it again in my archives. This beauty kindly separated itself from the flock and took time out from grass chomping to pose for me...You gotta love that face! Taken at Lytes Cary, Somerset.

Lytes Cary, Nr. Charlton Mackrell, Somerton, Somerset
The earliest building on the site is the chapel, built circa 1343. The Great Hall was built in the mid 15th century and then in the 16th century The Oriel Room was added. The house then went through a period of neglect and it wasn’t until 1907 when the house was restored adding fine oak furniture, tapestries and fabrics. Also a fine collection of paintings was added. The house is now Grade I listed, the person responsible for these renovations was Sir Walter Jenner who lived at Lytes Cary until his death in 1948 when it passed on to the National Trust.
The gardens are Grade II listed but very little of that 17th century garden exists but the Jenner’s designed the garden in ‘Art and Crafts fashion’. A series of rooms separated by hedge either box or yew with ponds or walks between or in the rooms.

The Apostle garden is aligned on the front door in the East front of the house and a building which has been described as a water tower, built by the Jenners in imitation of the dovecote at Avebury Manor, which was wrongly identified as a Dovecote by English Heritage.The garden is a severe, formal approach, flanked by topiarised yews, and is "deliberately low-key and simple so as not to distract from the beauty of the building"
Lytes Cary Manor
A house created by two families.
The Lyte Family
From the 13th century to the 18th century, Lytes Cary Manor was the home of the Lyte family. The founder of that family was William le Lyte, who was a feudal tenant of the estate as early as 1286. It is believed that his grandson Peter built the chapel which dates back to 1343.
The Lyte family lived here for over six generations and gradually expanded the house.
By the mid eighteenth century, the family were in serious financial difficulty and in 1755 the family had no other option but to sell Lytes Cary.
The Jenner family
Lytes Cary was then tenanted by a series of farmers until Sir Walter Jenner bought the estate in 1907. When the Jenners arrived the Great Hall was being used as a cider press, the Great Parlour was housing agricultural materials and the Little Parlour was a carpenter’s workshop, it later became Sir Walter's private study. He restored the house to a 17th-century style and also added on a new west wing.
The house as it stands today is filled with the collection lovingly restored and used by the Jenners.
Sir Walter decided to pass the house onto the National Trust in 1948. His daughter, Esme had died of pneumonia at the age of only 37, so he had no family to leave Lytes Cary to.

Lytes Cary Manor is a medieval manor house located in Somerset, originally the family home of Henry Lyte.
The two-storey house and the chapel are built of the local Blue Lias stone. Parts of the house have mellow honey-coloured Hamstone dressings, especially around windows and at quoins; the later 18th century additions have brick dressings. The roofs are stone tiled with some later terracotta tiles.
