Back to the high heath, today. And a later trip to the original hedgerow.
Numerous Orange Tips - both male and female.
I've also decided to change the buttons on my site to simpler text links. That will speed things up and avoid some other problems. |
I've mentioned the old garden at one point. I know this isn't a wild plant, but I thought the old seed-head of the Poppy looked very beautiful:
|
And this is a better picture of the male Orange-Tip. It has a little more orange than I usually see. |
The Heath Milkwort certainly appears in quite a few colours. The is the first virtually white one that I've seen. |
This is the Helvella corium - a fungus which I first recorded for Ireland last year. Specimen on the left is 2 cm across.
|
This has puzzled me a bit. Tormentil usually has 4 petals, and I don't think this is the different Cinquefoil. |
While I was down taking the Helvella, I spotted these tiny (6mm) wrinkled fungi growing on moss. Spore print in preparation. |
