The first picture actually wasn't taken in England, but it is related.... This little flower is a wayside flower. This flower is most commonly known from the movie "The Scarlet Pimpernel". In this movie an English man saves many French people from death during the french revolution. This man's family symbol is the Scarlet Pimpernel. Whenever this man saves a French person from death, he leaves a note with the seal of this flower. So...this flower is actually called "The Scarlet Pimpernel" and I just discovered it growing in our back yard!
There will be a Part 4...so stay tuned!
God bless!
