New to wild flowers/ help needed.

[2dogs2000]

This WAB is very addictive. I started off with birds then insects and now I've started to look more at wild flowers. Trouble is I haven't got a clue. I have just looked through one book and 60 pages of the gallery and I have still not been able to identify these. Reading another thread about flower ID I realise that I have not got enough information in my photos (eg leaf, size etc). They were all taken on grass verges (I think)
Any help would be very much appreciated.

1 is a St. John's wort, Hypericum sp- can't get any detail to be sure which one.

2 I can't enlarge tiny image, but guessing Dropwort or Meadow Sweet from what I can see!

3/4 Dog Rose, Rosa canina

5 Russian comfrey, Symphtym x uplandicum

Try this:



I agree - looks like meadow sweet.

Your first piccy has Hedge Woundwort growing in flower amidst the St.Johns Wort!

Thank you all for your help.
Keep an eye on this forum as I am sure I will be needing your help in the future.
I thought trying to ID warblers was hard but flowers seems even harder.


If you don't try you won't learn.

Uplandicum sounds like a made up word. Sorry, I had to check it out.

I thought I would be pushing my luck by asking for an ID on that one. Thank you.
