Wildflowers and Plants from Three Mile Water

[jdoherty]

All of these photos were taken at Three Mile Water, Newtownabbey, N.Ireland on the same day in September 2008. The first had quite a large leaf. You make just about notice a dung fly near the top left of the leaf. This may give some idea of the scale. The second I think is some type of bindweed and the others "I know nothing" as Manuel from Fawlty Towers would say. IDs would be great.

Thanks, John.

1 bittersweet
2 hedge or large bindweed - do you have a photo of where the stem meets the flower?
3 could be some sort of currant bush but not sure at all :P
4 cabbage sp. - i recognise this but cant put a name to it - someone else will

1. ?
2. So annoying, it's on the tip of my tongue... it's vernacular begins with B. Perhaps Field B-something??
3. ?
4. ?

EDIT: Bindweed!! Thanks Leifus!!

The first one looks like woody nightshade or bittersweet Solanum dulcamara

Hi

No 3 is Wayfarer's Tree (Viburnum lantana)

All the best

2. The bud just in the lower left of the pic suggests Large Bindweed (Calystegia silvatica).
3. Wayfaring Tree (Viburnum lantana)

1 agree with leifus - Woody Nightshade/Bittersweet.

2 agree with leifus - Hedge or Large Bindweed - Can't really determine from the photo, as would need to see whether the flower's bractioles were overlapping or not.

3 I think these are Viburnum berries, but not certain of exact species.

4 Agree with leifus - Cabbage family but I can't determine which species.

Regards
Mike.

1) bittersweet or woody nightshade
2)large bindweed
4) a wall rocket. either perennial or annual

[KeenTeen17]

charlock can be discounted from number 4 because although the petals look similar, charlock has denser flowerheads than this one and the leaves look wrong.

After looking on a few websites it looks to me like Annual Wall-rocket
