Wildflower Meadow & Common Blue Butterfly – British Flora Photo

This photo captures a serene moment in a wildflower meadow at College Lake Nature Reserve near Tring, where a Common Blue butterfly delicately rests atop a vibrant blue cornflower. The butterfly’s soft blue wings contrast beautifully with the intricate textures of the cornflower bloom, creating a striking focal point within the frame. Its gentle pose perfectly reflects the calm and beauty of a summer meadow.

Surrounding the butterfly and cornflower is a colourful tapestry of British wildflowers. Splashes of red poppies, clusters of bright yellow blooms, and hints of meadow green create a rich, painterly backdrop that brings the scene to life. The diversity of colour and form highlights the incredible ecological value of wildflower meadows and the species they support.

This photo celebrates the harmony between butterflies and their flowering habitats, offering a glimpse into the delicate balance of nature found at College Lake. The combination of the Common Blue butterfly and the surrounding wildflowers makes this a standout piece for anyone who appreciates British wildlife, pollinators, and the beauty of protected nature reserves.
