Hi Colin, your four ferns look like 1) Polystichum aculeatum. 2) Polypodium (?)interjectum. 3) Asplenium trichomanes ssp (?)quadrivalens. 4) Phylittis...
Thank you Geoff - can you tell me how you know the Polystichum is hard rather than soft shield fern (P. setiferum)? It is probably the lighting conditions, but...
Hi Gill, it's a (very) tentative ID based on the acute rather than obtuse angle of the base of the pinnules, the fact that they lack the 'thumb' characteristic...
Thanks - it doesn't help that it seems to be a young frond with no spores, does it? <<and also there are hybrids!>> yup - bane of my life, and not jsut with...
Hi Folks In the folder below http://tech.ph.groups.yahoo.com/group/UKBotany/photos/browse/155c? b=166&m=t&o=0 A plant for comment , a ripening berries could...
Hi all, I think it's Polystichum aculeatum as well. The habitat is right, the lowest pinnae are much shorter than the longest pinnae (see the last photo), the...
Hi Folks Further to the last posts(s) I also put in the folder a mint like plant - it does not appear to be Betony but a mint?? ( Leaves not distinguishedly...
Hi John My fault I also put a Mint in at the same time Daryll also noticed the Convallaria , which I was struggling with (a) not having seen one before (b) not...
Hi Colin, The Convallaria may well be wild, in which case it should be a known colony, as it is very persistent. I've seen it wild in the grykes on limestone...
Cheers Darrel A very productive little spot with a few suprising finds inc Silver Washed Fritillary , High Brown and iothers , much appreciated on both ID's...

I have collected some seeds from a white Musk Mallow (Malva moschata) and want to grow them on for transplanting. Any info on the best way forward would be...
Not sure about best method for propagating, but just a word of caution - we have white musk mallow in the garden, and whilst it is certainly an attractive...
And in mine (the white variety) - and mine is neutral. In fact for years I thought it was a cottage garden plant (the white being much commoner than the pink...
... Hi Tom, It's certainly a good grower, I've never sown it, but there are plenty of plants here in both the borders, mowing plots and the gravel paths (it's...
While we're talking about pink garden escapes (well it's usually pink!) am interested in Soapwort, Saponaria officinalis, which is in flower at the moment. The...
Hi Gill Thanks for that., some interesting comments, I enhanced two shots of berries and have posted them in the mystery folder , yes they where pretty robust...
Hi Colin, Your Rowan leaf is hosting the rust, Gymnosporangium cornutum. It mainly Scottish, but just about gets into Yorks. (There's a site near Leeds). If ...
Hi Malcolm Many thanks for that. This specimen was found near the Limestone Pavements at Gaitbarrows NNR , Cumbria , I can send on a precise 10 fig Grid and...
