Newbie needs some ID help

[Dae]

Hello!

New area of photography for me, you'll usually find me on the british birds section. So I'm completely new to flowers in general, I love to take photos of them. Only recently have I started to try an identify and find out a little bit more about them. I have a few here (I have loads, but thought I'd start slowly). I don't have a flower book yet, though looking for recommendations on a good book, so I have to rely on help here and the web.

All of these were taken in Wales. I'm afraid I'm not familiar with any specifics (ie soil types, etc.) so unfortunately all I have is photos to share.

3)



4)


Thanks in advance!

3 is Yellow Saxifrage - Saxifraga aizodes
4 looks to be Common Fumitory - Fumaria officinalis

I'll check the others

Can't nail number one. I'd say it looks like Herb-Robert but it's definitely too big and the leaves are different. Number two 'might' be Tormentil, but I'm not sure. Sorry

Nick

Hi,
1 geranium species, garden escape
2 Tormentil, Potentilla erecta
3 Wood Avens, Geum urbanum
4 Fumitory, but photo of seeds helps for definite ID

[NickCantle]

You showed me Jenny

[Jez]

I believe the Fumitory to be common- Fumaria officinalis.

[NickCantle]

Woo! At least I got one right

[Tiggrx]

1. is Druce's Crane's-bill (Geranium x oxonianum) - as Jenny says a garden escape.

[Bub-les]

I agree with Jennys and Tiggrx
1 Druce's Crane's-bill (Geranium x oxonianum)
2 Tormentil, Potentilla erecta
3 Wood Avens, Geum urbanum
4 Common Fumitory - Fumaria officinalis

I have recently bought a book on Amazon called Field Guide in Colour to Wild Flowers (Hardcover)
by Dietmar Aichele (Author)
It cost me 1p plus £2.75 P&P
The flowers are in colour sections and further divided into categories of flower shape,structure and habitat.The edges of the pages are coloured so its easy to go to the page you want
I can give you the link if you want it.Not sure if I can post it here but if you want it I can PM it to you
