Wild flowers this week.
Added bonus points if you can identify them as well.
The rules;
1. Take a photo of your bike with something that matches the theme in the picture.
2. Interpret the theme any way you like.
3. Pictures should be taken between the dates in the topic title.
4. If you post a picture you can either suggest a theme for next weeks challenge or vote for someone else's suggestion. First suggestion to get two supporting votes becomes next weeks theme, probably.
Now we have flora for this week, how about fauna for next week ? Can somebody tell me the proper names for the ones I don't know 😳

Never mind the name of the flowers, if you ever want to sell that tiny frame you know who to call 🙂
Can't quite see at that resolution but "little blue flowers" look like forget-me-nots

Does that look right?
mamdirt, if you buy that off Graeme, dibs on it when you sell 😉
You can try it on the next Pootle if you want ! 8)
nbt, one of the lads with me did think it was a Forget me not, but wouldn't commit to it!As for selling the frame, it's too much fun to get rid of :-),I could do with a try on a 16" to see how they compare. Could be tempted to let it go if my little legs can work a 16" 😳
It'd be for Mrs NBT, not me! I rode a 16" inbred, she has a 14" inbred that isn't *quite* long enough in the toptube for me - I'm 5'9" with a 32" inseam, based on that I'd reckon that while you could ride a 16", the 14" is the right size for you. I might be wrong though!

Dodgy grass and a wee weed.
The pink flower is a 'campion'.
Thank you. 🙂
Buttercups and meadow grass + Paddy

Yellow Vetch and cow-parsley / wild-carrot (doubtless some clover and bugle in there too).
Bad workman et cetera, but the skewed perspective making the bike look a bit odd, is entirely down to the camera, which has it's own view of things.

Big daisys and some yellow ones!

From back streets of Fuji City. Not many plants about!
Next week, 'odd' objects on the track. Items on the ground seen while riding.
Is it me, or are the rules too complicated ?
Sorry Graham. Will desist. But I did get the pics to show! Cheers.

Suggestion:
Fly tips, gypos, simplicity, toys.
OK, so they're not strictly wild being in my garden, but we didn't plant them... just washed my bike and thought they went well with the yellow 🙂

I think fauna would be a bit too difficult. I had enough trouble to get two ducks to stay still long enough to get them in a picture with my bike a few weeks ago.
We've had Fly tipping suggested twice now, I'll go with that.

Took this whilst on the STW South Downs Way ride.

Failed miserably to find any wild flowers at the weekend but flytipping . . . I can do that 😈
Running a bit late, but they were photgraphed during this "week", I just hadn't uploaded them...
