June is the maximum time for flowering species in the cemetery, although the spring bulbs will be well over. We should find an array of flowers from the pea, bellflower, daisy, mint, umbellifer, stonecrop, and many other families. We may also look at some grasses and the few trees, such as lime and Indian bean tree, which may be flower then. If the weather is fine there should be a good number of pollinators and other insects to see too and I certainly hope that 2025 will be a better year for butterflies than was 2024. This will primarily be an opportunity to gain experience more about the flowers, especially those less familiar ones.
