'Truncate Selfheal'


There are not that many flowers in chestnut woods, but sometimes there are.  Here, among the green leaves of very young trees a Selfheal. It has no English name, so let us call it 'Truncate Selfheal' (Prunella hastifolia).



It is difficult to see in the image, but in fact it has truncate leaves.



However, the big blue flowers do like some sunshine. This one grows in an open space between the trees.
