This is a close up of a small assemblage of slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis), which has flowers of a pale violet colour. The selective focus area is slender too, leaving areas of soft blues and greens. For a small flowering plant, this 'weed' has an impressive history in Britain. In 1838, this was written: (During the past month a plant, hitherto unknown as a native of Britain, was found in the neighbourhood of Colchester, where a number of specimens have been gathered. This flower, the Filiform Speedwell (Veronica filiformis), is a native of the Levant, and was introduced into England in 1780.) ('The Levant' refers to a large area of south-western Asia.) Legend relates how a young maiden, later canonised as St. Veronica, used this plant to wipe the face of Christ during his journey to Calvary. His healing powers were then said to have been transferred to the plant.

Untouched nature. When a small piece of cultivated land is left alone for a year during the summer, a remarkable transformation takes place. wildflowers begins to emerge, painting the landscape with vibrant hues. Native plants reclaim their territory and bring biodiversity back to the area. Buried seeds from seasons past awaken, shooting up.
