Another mixed bag, today. A few pictures from my journeys past the local hedgerows and then a longer walk to a high deforested area. Warm with occasional bright spots. |
The Russian Comfrey is showing on a few localised verges. It was previously used here as a fodder crop:

The Giant Hogweed is currently about 1.5 metres tall. It will reach at least 3m before the enormous flower heads open. |
Just for contrast, here's the 'ordinary' Hogweed. It's about 75 cm tall, and just about to flower. |
A quick snap taken while I was waiting in a car park. It's the Wild Strawberry |
Up to the heath, now and two shots of a pure white Vetch. It appears to be a white form of Bush Vetch and grew in precisely the same place last year.
|
Two colour forms of the Milkwort. I only saw the blue last year. I'll get better images when there's better light.
