Lichen but not strictly speaking 'flowers'. Lichen is complicated https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen

Using this fantastic website  http://www.wildflowerfinder.org.uk/  It looks like 'Red Crest or 'British Soldier Lichen'

Jac beat me to it by 5 minutes! I was going to describe the red bits as (probably) the fruiting bodies that release spores. The thin, silvery 'branches' are another species. Excellent macro photograhy!

I found this near Lang Clodie Wick, its caught a midge, Hurrah!


I can see you could make a fortune selling these to plant around Scottish lands!

Spotted on our walk this morning - a number of Magpie Inkcaps, which are apparently quite rare in the UK:

Likin the lichen ;)

Crustose or foliose?

Was it you Jac that suggested the 'wildfooduk.com' site a while ago? Definitely a good one, well laid out, I look at it a lot.

Spotted on our local walk this morning - patches of Wood Anemone:



An early wildflower in ancient woodlands. Indeed, the plant is often taken as evidence that the woodland is genuinely ancient.
