Not just good - to die for! Great photos too.
Ooh! They look good (I had to google them as the only one I’m familiar with is Nardus stricta). Perhaps we could swap weather for a while - much too hot for me down here and the drought worsens.
Last week at Watchfield was quite interesting - block paving produced Catapodium rigidum, Trifolium micranthum, Sagina filicaulis and Torilis nodosa. However, it rained non stop from about 11 so we packed up early.
Nothing super rare in other words!
Hope all's well in the far north!
Sorry about delay, Wylie. 3rd week at Abingdon Airfield yielded Verbascum densiflorum, which we don't see that often, but otherwise mostly similar species lists to the first two weeks.
The week after that was cancelled thanks to rain.
I don’t think so. I’ll check my notebook when I can find it - I’m slightly all over the place at the moment!
Nice view of leaves!
