| | | Some ID's please! Hello everyone!
Just got back from two weeks in Kimbra, my first visit to the area and won't be my last! A lovely place and reasonably good weather.
Took well over 600 photos  , have kept about 300 and have managed to identify most of the plants and things that I took. There's a few I need a bit of help with. Here's a few to start:
This was taken on estuary sand on the Furness peninsula
This was on the banks of Wast Water,
As was this, very small
Thanks in advance

| | | Re: Some ID's please! 1 is a glasswort, Salicornia sp.
2 is insectivorous Butterwort, Pinguicula vulgaris
3 I feel I should know, but I'm still scratching my head!
Glad you had a good trip. |

| | | Re: Some ID's please! Could 3. be a slightly tattered Devils-bit Scabious, Succisa pratensis 
(But how small was 'small'?) |

| | | Re: Some ID's please! Thanks for the id's. The third probably is Succisa pratensis, I kind of remember the flower head being smaller than 10mm which is smaller that Succisa pratensis, but is was 10 days ago so I may be wrong on this. Thanks again!

I don't think I'd make a good female impersonator even! I was thinking Scabious type for the last photo but it didn't seem quite right, but yes having seen others answers I agree it's that- a case of seeing the plant in the field would have been easier for me to ID. |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
