We are driving along the winding roads to Chelmsford for my dental appointment. We pass by olive coloured oak trees, weeping willows and apple trees bursting with blossom. We move through banks of yellow cowslips and even yellower fields of rape. There are high hedges and higher trees, roadside edges yellow with buttercups and dandelion, white with dead nettles and plants of the umbellifers family. Here are there are clumps of pink campion. Horse chestnuts proudly holding their flower spikes aloft like candles on a birthday cake. Have you ever looked closely at one of those flowers? They are exquisite.
Reaching the suburbs, ornamental trees and shrubs abound, as do: lilacs, berberis, chrysanthemums, laburnum, copper beech, red robin, the floriferous montana, clematis and flowering cherries.
