This selection of wildflowers from the Southwell Trail includes some that I have struggled to identify from the photographs. For example, the yellow flowers below might be from the same species but it is hard to be certain. I really need more information e.g. the shape of the leaves. I think I can align them to the buttercup family and if really pressed I think the may be lesser spearwort, but I am not sure:
Guelder Rose
Sometimes I know I have photographed a particular flower previously but I can't remember its name. Also, annoyingly, I when I search back I find that I haven't placed a keyword or title on the image. This means starting the identification process again and, in this case, it turned out to be a guelder rose:
Ribwort Plantain
This flower/grass is instantly recognisable by sight but I had no idea of its name. With some research I am fairly sure it is ribwort plantain although I can't say that I have heard of plantain family previously:
Ferns
Some new fern growth.....it is that time of year:
Chervil
I find the apiaceae or umbelliferae (carrot family) hard to identify. There are many different types and they seem so similar. I am sticking my neck out to say that these are rough chervil:
Dog Rose
Herb Bennet
Another I am not sure about but I think it is Herb Bennet:
Hedgerow Cranesbill
I am comfortable that this is a type of geranium but I am less certain it is a Hedgerow Cranesbill:
Elderflower
There is lots of elderflower along the trail:
Common Vetch
Lastly a common vetch, a member of the pea family:
