Inspired by the BSBI's New Year plant hunt, and armed with a new macro lens for my camera, I spent yesterday lunchtime wandering round the reserve looking for flowering plants. I surprised myself by finding 8 different species, and reminded myself how hard it is to identify them. I even managed to talk myself out of a few identifications, and had to ask for help on Facebook and the i-Spot website. Here are the results:- Red Clover; Trifolium pratense
- Red Campion; Silene dioca
- White Dead Nettle; Lamium album
- Mayweed; Tripleuspermum inodorum x maritimum
- Common Ragwort; Senecio jacobaea
- Hazel; Corylus avellana
- Self Heal; Prunella vulgaris
- Penstemon; Penstemon sp.
9. Grounsel; Senecio vulgaris
10. Common Chickweed; Stellaria media
11. Dandelion; Taraxacum sp.
