hi folks,
a day off work for me today prompted visits to multiple sites inc Aston Farm (a Royal hermitage!). i saw common frog, toad, viv, slowie, white-clawed crayfish and grey heron. but instead of them, heres pix of a couple of herpily (is that a word?) named flora i encountered inc an ultra-rarity! check this out; it might look like any old buttercup but this is one of the UKs fussiest plants; ADDER'S tongue spearwort ranunculus ophioglossifolius this species is known from only 2 sites in England. both are (happily for me ) in my home county. it is discerned from Lesser Spearwort by its heart-shaped lower leaves. this specimen is from Inglestone Common. secondly, heres a rather splendid display of the far more common and hirsute (yet very beautiful) VIPER'S Bugloss echium vulgare growing on old quarry workings at the definitively-named site of Crackstone. ok, i admit neither species are as comely as pippa middletons bum. but as previously pointed out on this site, not much is! lol well, i suppose NOW you expect pix of FROGbit hydrocaris morsus-ranae and ADDER's tongue fern ophioglossum vulgatum in order that i try to complete the Herp nomenclature-related set? well you can forget it! instead (and going back on my word ) heres 3 neonate AF; cheers folks, ben Edited by ben rigsby - 30 Jun 2011 at 12:10am |
