These photos were taken on July 17th 2007 at Three Mile Water, Newtownabbey in Northern Ireland. I hope someone can help with IDs.

Thanks, John

The top one is dogwood, Cornus sanguinea as was (I think it was renamed);
The second looks like some sort of Geranium ;
The third looks like Cardamine pratense, lady's smock, but not the best of views.

Second one could be Cut-leaved Cranesbill, geranium dissectum, and the third is a Willowherb - but which one I wouldn't like to hazard a guess at!

1 Dogwood
2 Cut-leaved Crane's-bill
3 Willowherb sp. Broad-leaved or one of the non-native jobs

Cheers,

Adam

Thanks for the help everyone. I don't know if this helps but the second looked a bit like cleavers but with small pink flowers.

The second is as Adam said Cut-leaved Cranesbill!

Given the propensity of Epilobium to hybridise + not having the specimen infront of me I'll avoid that one!

Thanks everyone for all your help and information. It is much appreciated.
