| | | Field Mouse-ear?
I think this is Field Mouse-ear, but would like to have the ID confirmed, please. The flower was over 1cm across, and it was in rough grass beside a very chalky path so the habitat seems OK.
If it is Field Mouse-ear, I'll put a higher resolution photo in the Gallery as I couldn't see any photos of this plant in there.
Thanks,
Pete |

Thanks kielder and djackso. Yes, the photos on that site tht djackso found look very similar to mine, interesting that in the US it's called Field Chickweed. I guess that's why we have the scientific names! |
