British wildflower g.c.survey

I'm having the same trouble WOO ! We're all gonna need a bigger book!!!!

It's a difficult I.D. subject. Thank heavens for Aesculus !

This is a beautiful composition.

 

I just bought the very same wildflower book for my mum last weekend! Actually, the Collins series are very good - especially the bird and wildlife ones.

Mrs WOO has very good judgement

 

Oh No WOO - it's not you!!!! Wild flowers are very difficult to ID even from photos. That is what makes them appealing to try and find out about - a lot of detective work required... which I like !

I just wonder if this thread has bitten off more than it can chew - very pretty photos though and that makes it worthwhile in my book.

Currently listing the flowers we have so far on post # 1.

 

Ok lets get started on these:thumb:

1) Ground Ivy (Glechoma hederacea)
2) Charlock (sinapsis arvensis) ?
3) Narrow-Leaved Vetch (Vicia angustifolia) ?
4) Yep spot on woo:thmb:
5) Well it's a geranium...:lollol:
6) and gain spot on although it's most commonly called "jack by the hedge" dunno why:skp:

 

Her's a list of the wild flower identification books I use:

• The Concise British Flora in Colour by W. Keble Martin (Getting old but it's commonly available at charity shops!)
• Field Studies Council Identification keys (http://www.field-studies-council.org/publications/bycategory/flowering.aspx) available from summerfieldbooks.com
• And then I have a huge array of other old charity shop books plus a couple of the expert book range (also from charity shops) and also the RHS A-Z

 

One of my favourite wild flowers Corn Poppy(Papaver Rhoeas)
also called Field Poppy and Flanders Poppy .

 

Silver Weed(Potentilla anserina)

Everybody's favourite weed Dandelion(Taraxacum Officinale)
