A beautiful walk today along the South West Coast Path from Bovisand eastward.

For #WildFlowerWednesday here's some favourites:

Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium) with Common Red Soldier Beetle (Rhagonycha fulva) also commonly known as Hogweed Bonking Beetle

Goat's-beard (Tragopogon pratensis) seed head shining golden in the sun

Honeysuckle (Lonicera periclymenum) as fragrant as ever

Wild Thyme (Thymus praecox) fragrant *and* sumptuous colours

A close-up of a white-flowered plant with many separate heads composed of individuals flowers with petals of uneven lengths. The heads are held on slim green stems. On two of the heads are three red and black insects, one on its own and the other two mating.
A close-up of a seed head with fluffy ends, rather like a dandelion. The fluffy parts are white while the stems holding them are a yellowy colour. The seeds themselves are not visible. In the background are out-of-focus green leaves.
A hedge of shiny green leaves with protruding flowers coloured yellow, pink and white. Each flower has whorled heads of trumpet-shaped corollas with two lips, one curved up and the other curved down, and stamens protruding. Above the hedge is a glimpse of the a bright blue sky.
A carpet of tiny pinkish-purple flowers, paler at the throat, against dark-green foliage. Each flower has four petals. Below are stones on the path, next to which the plant is growing. Other green vegetation is interspersed.
