Great Burnet and Timothy grass on Brook Meadow - 28 June 2018

I popped over to the meadow this afternoon mainly to check on the Great Burnet which Colin Brotherston had photographed earlier this month and which I had missed. I can't understand how I missed such a good crop of about 20 plants all covered with multiple flower heads - roughly where they have been for the past 5 years - first discovered and confirmed by Martin Rand in 2013.
Close by I was also pleased to find the first of the Timothy grasses, always a relatively late grass to flower, but so elegant with extraordinarily long vertical and cylindrical inflorescences - up to and sometimes over 15cm long.
Here is a video clip of the Great Burnet flowers and the Timothy.
