I found some yellowrattle growing in one of our fields a couple of years ago, after it flowered I collected some seed heads and collected seeds from them. I sprinkled these seeds in the patch of lawn we have. They grew! So happy.

Time to upscale the community orchard and wildflower meadow on Brecks Lane. Sowing now as it requires overwintering to kickstart germination 👍🏻

Yellow rattle, the meadow-maker, sown in August 2020. (Seeds must be sown fresh). It will allow wildflowers to gain a hold...my wildflower meadow is just a tiny patch, but even at that, i see a huge increase in beneficial insects

Yellow rattle is the parasite of the plant world. This beautiful flower feeds off the roots of surrounding grasses and weakens them, giving yellow rattle and other wildflowers a better chance of survival wildflowerhour BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

I've got some yellow rattle coming through but it's surrounded by grass with seed. Should I do something about the grass or leave the rattle to fend for itself?

The meadow maker - Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor). It’s hemi-parasitic which is great for biodiversity. It gains nutrients from surrounding plants, thus restricting grass growth & allowing other wildflower species to thrive.

Some of my new babies are starting to flower! I’m hoping our meadow areas will be awash these in a month or two. Terribly exciting after all the work that went into collecting the seed, preparing the ground and sowing.

Looking after little things helps keep the big things in order.This will be our 3rd. summer at Sunnyhill Farm. The meadows are no longer grazed all year only for 6 weeks in Autumn and the result is
