A surprise find in the shape of Dittrichia viscosa Woody Fleabane on the central reservation of a dual carriageway outside Southampton. Made my day!

May not be much to look at, but this is the very rare Potamogeton nodosus Loddon Pondweed looking rather attractive in a river on the Hampshire Berkshire border.

Oh no ! I read about the lorry fire, which I found upsetting as it was carrying live hens. Very sad. So glad you saw the purslane. I must go myself.

For Sorbus fans: Sorbus herefordensis growing on the edge of woodland in Herefordshire ( of course). A very handsome tree!

Not your usual mugwort, this is Chinese mugwort, which flowers much later in the season and has different leaves to common mugwort.
