This little Comma butterfly (Polygonia c-album) was sunning itself in amongst the vegetation on the land of Barlaston and Rough Close Common in Stoke-on-Trent Staffordshire. Possibly past its peak but beautiful nontheless.

Tormented or Tormentil?
Tormented or Tormentil?

The rather beautiful but easily missed yellow flowers of Tormentil (Potentilla erecta) growing on the common land of Barlaston and Rough Close Common in Staffordshire. It had old medicinal qualities including the treatment of wounds, colic and dentally to traet gum disorders as well as acting as a form of toothepaste. Tormented because this was so low growing that I had to get flat on the ground to get the shot.
