Lovely finds Leifus. I haven't seen Dark Red Hells this year  - I only know one Derbyshire site and they didn't appear, maybe the dry weather. Isn't it lovely up North  . Pleased to have the Common Fiddleneck ID from your pics. - I saw that on Lindisfarne but didn't know what it was.
Carline Thistle for me too.
Regards,
Lilyrose |

Lilyrose | it is lovely! the dark reds were well worth the wait. They're so beautiful!
the fiddleneck was nice too. There's a different species of fiddleneck which grows on Inner Farne which is its only locality in Europe.

Field cow-wheat. Plenty of specimens still in bloom.
Made up for being too late to see the Wood Calamint in flower this year. |

Hi Leif, Quote:

I'll pop back in the next week to check on it. Quote: |

| Yes, brilliant. Glad I was shooting digital and not film, the number of photos I took!
Tried to find the Wild liquorice as well while I was in the area, but no luck
Cheers,

i've never seen the wild liquorice, although I've never searched for it, but I've heard it's quite hard to find there

Out today for a casual walk and came across several Broad Leaved Helleborines in an unexpected location which made them an even nicer find. Also lots of Betony.
Leifus - was half asleep yesterday morning looking at your photos; I think it was the sea milkwort I saw on Lindisfarne, not Fiddleneck, which I probably wouldn't have noticed and I've never heard of before - more good finds for you . |
