| | | Flowers for ID please I'll try to only add to one thread this time! Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks! These are taken at wonderful Killinallan - an area of sand dunes on Islay. I've no idea about the first, but wondered if the other two are pale versions of the Autumn Gentian?

EDIT: I should add all these photos were taken in July a few years ago. |

| | | Re: Flowers for ID please Autumn Gentian looks good Becky - frequent on sandy meadow/machair and cliff tops up there - and comes as a white form.
Cheers

| | | Re: Flowers for ID please I definitely go along with Autumn Gentian; 5 petals makes it not possible to be Field Gentian, (4 petals), which also grows in that lovely part of the world.
The small white flower has me guessing, Johns Heath Pearlwort is a possibility, but I don't see the normally very prominant sepals. A Spurrey is another poss., can't see a leaf which would help.

| | | Re: Flowers for ID please I'd go for knotted pearlwort, Sagina nodosa as flower is 'tall', petals longer than sepals and not notched. |
