Two summers ago (2020) we cut down a large DF tree and this has allowed more light to reach part of the woodland floor in an otherwise fairly dark environment.

This summer there has been a localised explosion of foxgloves providing a much improved food supply for bumble bees.

Foxgloves are biennial and so in their first year of growth they produce leaf and stalk then flower in the following year. The seeds for same have probably laid dormant in the ground for over 60 years.
