Wild Flowers you have seen while out walking....!

Hello everyone I thought I'd help out with the not sure's and tomorrow I will post some of the wild flowers which are currently out around me:thumb:

 

1 I think is probably of the genus Centaurium (Centaurium littorale???) but I cant narrow it down maybe you could take a look at few photo's yourself and see what you think? http://www.florasilvestre.es/mediterranea/Gentianaceae.htm

2 I think this is probably a Narrow-leaved everlasting-pea (Lathyrus sylvestris) thought to be native but is commonly introduced from elsewhere

3 not sure yet

4 looks like Tufted Vetch (Vicia cracca)


and I need a new wild flower book as my current one is far to out of date it appears:lollol:

 

This looks to me like one of the Hypericums - maybe H. pulchrum?

 

large flowered hemp nettle-in my garden

 

It is very pretty:luv:

although difficult to germinate:(

 

Went for a walk up the fields near where I live and spotted some flowers that I thought I would post =]

 

Very nice and colorful.

 

Went for another walk today a bit further a field then I usually do unfortunately there wasn't all that much to see unless you happen to love red and white clover:hehe:

infact the most interesting thing I saw was an Orobanche sp. next to my brothers school on the way back:o

although by this point the camera had given out... so I'm going to have to go back and get a photo to show at the next Botany outing I'm going to with the IWNHAS (Isle of Wight Natural History and Archaeological Society...)

as I cant tell if it's Orobanche minor or the rarer Orobanche hedera:cnfs: it doesn't help that it's not in it's best shape:wink:

anyway here's a couple of photo's other plants:

 

These might be considered cheats as they're plants that I have grown myself from seeds. They're wild nonetheless ? and brighten up a hedge bottom. The cornflower has been a bit of a poor show, but maybe they'll fair better in the second year.





This is my particular favourite ...

 

The corncockle has proven to be a hit with the cows who have taken much pleasure from up rooting those that are too near the fence.



The Cornflower was the one I wanted to establish the most ... perhaps next year

 

Beautiful images, Apache. Corncockle is quite a rare plant in the wild. For years, my town had a single specimen growing in one of its parks, then the powers that be decided to plant a whole field of them, along with corn marigold.
