29th May |
High deforestation, and a quick pic of the Willowherb after the rain
stopped.
Dull but dry, then rain just as I went out with the camera. Still only two days without rain in May. |
These are the early shoots of Yellow Rattle. The leaves are possibly the most distinctive of any of my local plants other than Sundew. |
This is another shot of yesterday's Heath Woodrush, but from a different location about 1 km away. I'll keep track of the original specimen to see if it expands in the same way. |
The first Willowherb flower of the year. This is Broad-leaved Willowherb - Epilobium montanum. There will be at least another 7 or 8 of these, but then the hybrids will have to be counted, too. Not sure what that blue colouration is in the background of the picture. |
