And then I spotted something new which turned out to be midge galls of the Gall Midge (Dasineura ulmaria) on meadowsweet leaves. Apparently they turn red as they progress.

Gall midges, flowers and leaves
In a break between rain pourings yesterday I went out to look at leaves, aka greenness. The lobelia and the yellow loosestrife caught my eye. Flowers do that :)
But the greens did too, especially of this fern with leaves at various stages, the basal rosette of a Cat's-ear growing in a boggy bit, and some aquilegia.
