Help Identify Wildflowers

[rscott74]

I was out and about a bit last week but didn't realise until I reviewed my images how many 'strangers' I'd come across. I hope you can help.

I have a feeling that I may have seen this before but the lower leaves are odd. These were taken in a quite shaded area in woods near Ferryhill. The light prevented reasonable close images





These appear to be Willowherb, without 4 lobed stigma and with stalkless leaves but I can't figure out what it is.





These are from the limestone garden at Rainton Meadows.

Hi rscott,
1. Wall Lettuce, Mycelis muralis
2. and 4. What sort of ground were they growing in? Marsh Willowherb, Epilobium palustre has a club-shaped stigma - dampish ground..... and so does Short-fruited Willowherb, Epilobium obscurum
3. Wild Marjoram, Origanum vulgare

1 wall lettuce
2 marsh/broad-leaved willowherb
3 marjoram

I agree

[JennyS]

2 marsh/broad-leaved willowherb

Stigma is four-lobed for Broad-leaved Willowherb, and its club-shaped in rscott's photos.....

aaaahhhh

Jenny they were next to a track on the way to Rainton Meadows with what I would say is fairly good ground conditions, shadey and neither wet nor dry. I've posted a longer shot which indicates surrounding vegetation which might help.

I forgot to say thanks for the replies - they are always appreciated. Wall Mustard is a new one to me. It makes the visit to Ferryhill worthwhile as I also found Wild Basil. I had seen Marjoram before, in another location, with images taken at the beginning of July last year when the flower buds weren't open. A much more attractive plant with flowers in full bloom I think.

I was back down the track again today and this is a close up of the Willherb now showing a 4 lobed sigma and it would seem an ID as Broad-leaved. Is that correct?

It could that while the camera doesn't lie,further images may reveal the truth.
