It's not only the W.I. that do that, some highway authorities have strange ideas too. Cowslips of wild origin flourish in my Kent garden which is fairly well ...
Hello, For those of you who may be interested, I have placed some items of a botanical theme on eBay under Books, Nature. These include some sets of Wild...
Hello I have uploaded a picture of a plant for help with identification. It flowered in June on a south facing slope of Lancing Ring, LNR. The site is close to...

Dear Tina, Rob and Rodney, Many thanks for your comments and observations. The plant we found was on its own in rank grass. We didn't see any others on either...

A few taxa I've promised myself to look out for this Spring:- 1) Erophila verna var(ssp) praecox (Early whitlowgrass ssp), the one with the +/- orbicular...

Subsp. lucorum is the usual subspecies of ivy-leaved speedwell as a weed of gardens, hedgebanks etc., and is much easier to find than the other in my ...
Thanks - and I can certainly recollect seeing plants with corolla < 6mm across, maybe already this season! Must take a closer look. I see it's not split in...

Malcolm, I think that's over-cautious. There are several differential characters and only occasional plants which don't combine them properly (Stace says 25%,...

You've got potential for hours of fun with this one. I have been delving deep into chromsome numbers and their potential - as well as their relationship to...
Plants have come into flower over the last 2 days at 3 points along the A605 in Northants. In all cases, the verges date from late 1980s bypass schemes so the...
