It's a native of Southern Europe, but has been thoroughly naturalised in Britain now for hundreds of years. In the Avon Gorge, one of my local patches, it competes perfectly well with native cliff vegetation. |

Although on this morning's fungi foray species were quite scarce there was evidence of activity in the shape of Monotropa hypopitys - Yellow Bird’s-nest which is associated with Tricholoma fungi.

No photo (kids took the camera to Ireland) but I found Pale Galingale Cyperus eragrostis in Cheshire today. Thanks to Tiggrx for his Gallery picture. I would not have identified it without that. |

Lots of Enchanter's Nightshade and Self-heal about at the moment. |

I've been ignoring this Giant Bellflower for the past week as I thought it was a garden escape, but according to t'internet it is a native plant!  
Found in a roadside hedge on a hilltop. From what I could see this was the only group around. |

First walk in the Forest for a few days:
Perforate St.John's Wort & Common Centaury. The latter is a favourite of mine.

Thistles are very beautiful in Alice Holt: especially tall marsh thistles in damp spots ,mostly intense dark purple but some white.
Lovely bushy growing spear thistles too with big "classic thistle type" purple-pink flowers.
And good old creeping thistle, bane of the gardener on clay soil with pale lilac flowers.
Goldfinches and even a bullfinch family feeding on creeping thistle seed
