SUMMER WILDLIFE IN BANAGHER GLEN:

 

FOXGLOVE(DIGITALIS)     PERENNIAL

These beautiful tall early summer flowers are the Summer Banagher's answer to Bluebells in late Spring. They are not very sturdy and will fall and brake easily in a storm but they are most impressive swaying in the wind.

sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss sdhe

CLOVER

Another variety of the wild clover is morecommonly found in Banagher Glen but when you see this coloured type its a treat to the eye. The coloured type tend to be bigger and better and the stems are thicker. The bees lover them

WILD HONEYSUCKLE

The native honeysuckle which thrives in Banagher Glen is less bright and scentful as the garden type although not by much. And the beautiful scent can still be smelt strongly if you happen to walk past a large patch of them on a warm summer's night after the rain

WILD FERN

This fern with attractive foliage causes quite an eye sore when the leaves die back and stay below the plant as a brown decaying mess all winter. But don't let this put you off these extravigant plants which compliment the bluebells and foxgloves brilliantly. The lush green leaves look fabulous from the side of the path in the glen.
