It doesn't look like Bog Myrtle to me, but a wee bit more information may help, where and when it was seen, a county would be sufficient.  |

Taken in Culbin Forest near Nairn, Morayshire last week. Plants are small shrubs around 30cm tall and had fluffy seed all over it from the other paler flowers I've also posted growing on the same bushes. |

I think your shrubs are some type of Willow, but I'm not sure which one.
Welcome to WAB by the way.

Thanks Audrey, I'll check out some willow types and see if I can find anything similar. |

A bit more research leads me to believe it may be Creeping Willow but if anyone can confrm this I'd be grateful. Thanks |

Hi
Almost certainly Creeping Willow - Salix repens.
Lovely close-up of the seed head. Looks like a great coastline up there.

If you just do the Hill 99 trail at Culbin, it's quite a nice one to walk, and worth it for the hundreds of Creeping Ladies Tresses that grow there. The Hill 99 trail takes you to two ponds which have Dragonflies and Damselflies in profusion, and it's also a great site for Butterflies.
Just a bit east of Culbin is Findhorn, which is another great site for plants and Butterflies. I was there yesterday evening with a small group looking at plants, including Suffocated Clover which grows nowhere else in Scotland.
Regards, Audrey. | | | |
