Original Hedgerow, leg 1.
Damp and dull. |
The Coltsfoot flower-heads have started to bend. They'll be like this until the seeds are ripe and then the heads will assume a more upright position for seed dispersal. |
Another great quiz picture. This is the early shoot of Greater Willowherb. It won't flower until July. |
Most Bramble briars are showing some new growth. |
A common Liverwort - Lunularia cruciata. |
A new moss from the hedgerow: Fissidens cristatus. The leaves have an interesting double lower half to one side of the leaf. Notice that only one half of each leaf is wrinkled.
Three shots showing: leaf at x40, edge at x100 and tip at x400.
