flowers for identification/confirmation

[thebeard]

I enjoyed a nice sunny walk around the 'rock' cemetery in nottingham yesterday after noticing that there seemed to be lots of plants in flower when i walked past the previous evening.

saw a few which i'm not entirely sure of, and can't really find them in books.

step in knowledgable wabbers!!! just a few! thanks in advance!

i think this is pignut, the basal leaves were absent, leaving only the thin ones on the stem. opinions?


not a clue, lots of this about


this was growing on a wall, flower looks like wild strawberry, but i'm quite sure it isnt, although i'm not sure what it is???

1. Looks quite like pignut but seems very tall in the photo. Could be Burnet Saxifrage.
2. Probably Common Mouse-ear.
3. Barren Strawberry.

the first was only about 30cm tall, had to get 'horizontal' to get a good shot! cheers for the other IDs too, look about right!

Yeah, wouldn`t disagree with Pignut for the first. Common Mouse Ear for the second and the last is just a daisy with a deformity (probably been sprayed lasy year) Oh! I forgot, wild strwberry would work fine for the other one.
Thanks,
Dave

No - I'm sure that's Barren Strawberry. Sepals longer than petals and clearly showing. Mat, downy rather than glossy leaves.

You might want to consider Sticky Mouse-ear (Cerastium glomeratum)
for the second. It looks like an erect plant with compact heads of flowers that are not opening - both features reminisent of that species

Hmmm - I thought about Sticky but just didn't seem quite compact and "sticky" enough. But not sure, hence the "probably" Common M-e. You could be right though

I would consider whatever you like but I will stick to my ID unless I have one in my hand. To try to differentiate from those pics is a bit unrealistic. (could well be Barren Strawberry though)
