The bright rose-red flowers of red campion brighten up roadsides, woodlands and hedges throughout the summer. Just as the bluebells finish flowering in our woodlands, red campion starts to come into bloom. If they grow side-by-side for a few weeks, they can turn a woodland floor into an amazing sea of pink and blue.
Red campion is a perennial plant, which means it can live for a number of years, growing and blooming in spring and summer, and dying back in autumn.

Beautiful photo! This delicate flower is the epitome of gracefulness in the wild! I love when it shows up in the most unusual locations; e.g., at the approaches to an overpass in the center of the city. (Check out my profile pictures.)

Our city may be of similar mind. A few days after I captured my photo, the city had mowed them down. I was disappointed because they were such a whimsical delight to the asphalt jungle!

So delicate and graceful. Lovely capture, Joop. I hope you get a photo of them carpeting the forest.
