I think I've seen this before (and may even have posted it here before) but I can't remember what it it is.
Thanks,
Pete |

Thanks Gill and Deer Stalker for your prompt replies!
I was wrong, I don't think I have seen it before, although the books tell me it's common. There was certainly a lot of it about along the bridleway where I found it.
Thanks again.

I did see plenty of Woody Nightshade today - or was it Bittersweet?  It certainly seems to be very common in these parts. |

You've helped me out with this one too, Pete. I photographed it locally last Tuesday and was going to post it for an ID but now I don't have to!

You're welcome, Dave!
Exactly the same thing has happened to me once or twice - just the other day leifus had a photo identified as Vervain, which matched a photo I was going to post up for ID. |

I've just seen a lot more Enchanter's Nightshade in a neighbouring village. I wouldn't have known what it was this time last week! Isn't WAB wonderful! | | |
