Unidentified Wildflowers

[Pete Collins]

What are these three, please? They were all found in the chalky Chiltern Hills yesterday.

I think the yellow flower in the background of photo 2 is Common Rock-rose.

I think summer must have arrived - on my walk in Oxfordshire yesterday I noticed several flowers that I was seeing for the first time this year. These included Wild Mignonette, Yellow-wort, Agrimony, Hedge Woundwort, Bladder Campion and Lesser Stitchwort.

Thanks,

Pete

I think the first two are shrubs
1. dogwood cornus sp. possibly alba
2. possibly a spirea

Hi Pete

1 Dogwood - Thelycrania (Cornus) sanguinea

2 Privet - Ligustrum vulgare

3 St John's Wort - probably Hypericum perforatum

All common on chalk

All the best

Thank you all very much for your answers.

With hindsight, I should have realised that the last one was a type of St John's Wort as I've seen it plenty of times before.

Thanks again,

Pete.
