| | | The How To ID Wood Stitchwort Guide For Leif
Leif texted me today and asked how I know if a plant is wood stitchwort, well basically it has flowers that curve outward  Stitchwort, Wood
Whereas the lesser stitchworts petals remain straight. 
I'm sure theres other ways to ID it e.g by number of stamens etc. But this works as well unless a weirdo lesser stitchwort comes along.   |

thanks KT - very useful!
Perhaps another way may be because of the colour of the stamens?

Also Lesser Stitchwort has narrow leaves and Wood Stitchwort has broad leaves (i.e. more like a chickweed than a stitchwort) |
