Swedish wild flowers

I collected wild flowers to draw everywhere we went during our 3 weeks in Sweden.  I found many I already knew but the pink one on the right side of this spread is new to me.  It looks like a pink with the same type of stems but they are sticky and collect insects and tiny spiders.  They grow everywhere on the side of the roads and make the motorways a pleasure to drive along!

These harebells were growing outside my childhood holiday home in exactly the same place as 60 years before, but I didn't see them anywhere else!

While were on holiday camping in Sweden recently we cycled through the forests to visit places nearby.  I really loved the height of the trees and the beautiful bright green undergrowth;  English forests seem to be so much darker with a dry brown floor.
