Hi Tim Rich has determined this plant to be a local dwarf variant of G. amarella for now. Incidentally 'd agree that UK botany does not revolve around Watford....
Thanks for the update, Paul. I'm a long way north of Watford, but some distance south of Ardnamurchan, and an even longer distance south of Stephen, but...

Update: today the plants had lost all their leaves (slugs I think) and all that is left is two rather soggy straw-coloured bare stems - the seeds never...

Hi all, I think it must be a Radish, although I've never seen anything quite like it. Did you collect/photo the grass as well? sounds like it might be a...
Thanks Darrel. No, I didn't get the grass, but I can go back. It's only just coming into flower now. I'm not sure if it was part of the same seed mix as the...
Morning all - Could anyone help with an ID on a planted hedgerow/flowerbed bush? I've put two images in the photo section (album "Innes"). There are several...

I'd noticed some strong growing O. minor at Weston super Mare apprently on this host so thanks for confirming it is likely. Do you have a reference for the...
Hi all, The Mahonia looks quite interesting, I'm not sure that it has been newly planted, the leaf colour and bare stems make me wonder if it is established,...

Hi Helen, You might well not get a definitive answer, as the taxonomy of Crataegus is very confused. Try the Google Ebook: ...

Sorry, Darrel, forgot the camera today (and it was raining yesterday) I'll try and get there tomorrow, weather permitting. Sorry, no idea on the Crataegus,...

Hi Gill, I'm fairly sure it is a Panicum species, the broad hairy leaf/ligule and panicle all look right. It may be "Millet", Panicum miliaceum, although that...
We've just had lots of Panicum capillare 'Witchgrass' appear in Salisbury where they demolished the old swimming pool - it's hard to see from the photographs...
