The first photo was taken in the Harbour Estate, Belfast in September 2006. The second photo was taken on Carnmoney Hill, Newtownabbey, N.Ireland at the end of June 2007. I hope someone can help with IDs.

Thanks, John

I think the common spotted is the variation Albifleura

Its quite uncommon

Yes you may well be correct (var albiflora), unspotted leaves and white flowers are characteristic. There looks to be some reddish marks on some flowers. Does this count against it?
