| | | and yet more ....! Some more flowers that I'm unsure of and would be glad of id help......
1. Alsike Clover?
2. Good-king-henry? I remember planting some in the veg patch years ago....
3. Lesser Water-parsnip? Growing in damp, stream-side ground
4. One of the hybrid mints.....bushy or whorled?
5. Cow Parsley doing an out-of-season flowering? It seems to have oddly split centres to the flowers....or is that normal and I've never noticed before?  |

| | | Re: and yet more ....! 1. Looks like White Clover (Trifolium repens) - Alsike Clover is usually a more upright plant with pinkish flowers
Compare with this pic.
2. I think you're right, but it doesn't quite look typical
3. Again you are probably right, but something doesn't look quite right about it
4. I would have said Corn Mint ( Mentha arvensis) for this one.
5. Yes, Cow Parsley often flowers at odd time. The split stigma is normal.
6. You could be right... |

| | | Re: and yet more ....! Thanks Tiggrx - thats the trouble, they didn't look quite right!
1. it was the leaves that got me wondering.....
2. I'll keep watching this one and see if theres more of a clue when the flowers do their thing
3. Could it otherwise be a slightly odd Wild Angelica ....?  Oh I wish I could find typical plants! |  | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
