Flowers needing ID

[davidbr]

A couple of flowers in need of ID from today:




Is this ivy-leaved toadflax (Cymbalaria sp.) just the common C. muralis in a white form I've never seen before, or could it be Italian Toadflax (C. pallida), a plant I've also never seen?



This cherry, in an old cemetery, was probably planted many years ago. It doesn't seem quite right for Wild Cherry, Prunus avium - I was wondering whether it might be Japanese Cherry, P. serrulata? Could anyone a bit more used to cherries than me offer an opinion?

1) it looks like the white form of ivy leaved toadflax

2) can't help sorry

1. Yep, white form of C. muralis

2. I think is just Wild Cherry (Prunus avium). P. serrulata has different shaped teeth at the edges of the leaves

Thanks, Tiggrx

I'd never come across a white form of C. muralis before and, when it comes to Prunus blossom, I usually take the cowards' way out of "waiting for the leaves"!

Yes, I probably would have avoided the post except I wanted to comment on the Toadflax
