I am lucky to have occasional access to the closed, walled Jewish cemetery in Brady Street, Whitechapel, East London. Sometimes it's severely mown, sometimes it's full of wildflowers. Last weekend it was full of wildflowers.
forget-me-not close-up of the flower
forget-me-not entire plant
the purple flowers are geranium molle
comfrey
smooth sow thistle with a very thick stem
bellis perennis
white deadnettle and hawkweed which has spread extensively
smooth sow thistle
cow parsley, green alkanet and bellis perennis throughout the cemetery
I am so happy to see the pink woodsorrel has grown back after being mown down
the buds are like little sticks
one bud just starting to open, the plants form a dome as all the unbranched stems grow directly from the ground
green alkanet
prickly sow thistle
buttercups
hawkweed
buttercup
spear thistle
plantain young plants before flowers surrounded by bellis perennis
geranium molle
a shrub has completely enveloped this gravestone
small nettle grows extensively in the cemetery, it's had years to spread, there's a carpet of it along the path

plants growing along the top of the wall, cow parsley in front of the wall
on three sides there are modern housing estates on the other side of the wall and a school on the 4th side; sadly I spend a good deal of time on every visit picking up rubbish
