| | | Re: Helpful wabbers, any chance of suggestions or confirmation Hello! Lovely flowers these, The second is Yarrow a common grassland plant and the first is a knapweed Possibly greater knapweed (Centaurea scabiosa) do you have a picture of the leaves for the first one? That would help sort out which type of knapweed it is...

| | Re: Helpful wabbers, any chance of suggestions or confirmation Thanks for your speedy replies, I'll check knapweeds in the A-Z (incidentally, I find the A-Z often crashes when clicking on a thumbnail, going to "this webpage is unavailable", I've no idea why.)
Picture 1 is the same plant as Picture 4, it was just the way they uploaded. I have a picture of the foliage/whole plant somewhere, I'll dig it up (hee-hee, not literally of course!)
Any idea on 5, the bumble-bees liked it, getting sticky pollen all over them. I'll post that too.
Nice to have found yarrow possibly. An oft-heard name that I can now put a face to if confirmed.
Cheers. |

| | | Re: Helpful wabbers, any chance of suggestions or confirmation All of the magenta coloured ones may well be the same species, Further leaf pictures (or greater expertise than mine  ) may be needed for full ID

| | | Re: Helpful wabbers, any chance of suggestions or confirmation The 'pink' flowers are all Common Knapweed Or Hardhead as it is also known.
The first flower is the 'rayed' form. The other two are normal.
(If you were to remove the outer rays from flower 1. you would be left with flower 2.)
The white fowered plant is Yarrow.

This is the plant I thought was sheeps-bit,Picture 5 in original post, it definitely grew differently to the tall knapweed stroke hardhead. Much lower not many stems from one base. Cheers. |
