Spring is lungwort

A path we walk regularly follows the route of the old railway track, torn up forty years ago. It backs on hundreds of private homes' back gardens.

This patch of lungwort, Soldiers and sailors, was blooming yesterday outside the fence of someone's garden. The patch was about two metres across.

My wife thought it might have spread by roots under the fence. But lots of people dump good flower pots and soil over their fences, and I suspect this patch got started so.

In any case, it's a pleasant sight for walkers, if not for the livyers on the other side of the fence.
