Hi KT, I think the gentians will be from the Burren - Jimmer has another pic of a tomb there, in county Clare. If you havent been, save up and do it - terrific for flora and lots else too.
Cheers
Ken
Hope its still there .... Ian and I were only talking about the ladys slipper yesterday - we drove past but had to be getting back so have left it till next week when we are on holiday for a week at the caravan - if all goes to plan .......... fingers crossed!
Now the Leafy Spurge is south of Milnthorpe: pass the garage on the left with the car wash, then Oasis Wildlife Zoo thingie on the left and keep on the A6 (our caravan is left at this point) keep on, pass the second garage which actually sells cars as well as fuel and a pub opposite, keep on you will see the big yellow patch of the spurge on the left-hand verge and a few yards past is a parking spot - stop here and nip back a few yards to spurge. If you wind up in Milnthorpe you've overshot - turn back. Let me know if you think it is Leafy?? Tiggryx thought it was poss.
Apologies keen teen - thought you were turning into one of those 'grasping avaricious old botanists - mine all mine' ........ Heh! heh! heh! I know the pond if its the one with the yellow skunk cabbage? In fact I've suddenly remembered - I've seen it before and this is where (don't grow old matey - there's nothing to recommend it - and I'm getting more like my mother every day) anyhow - its on the right in the wet area isn't it as you stand on the road and look at the pond?
