Cornwall Botany for April 2023, my new blog at sylvatica2022.blogspot.com hope you like it & sorry it's a bit long, but there' so many wildflowers to feature!
Lesser Spearwort, one of thousands at Maer Lake near Bude today. Maer Lake #Cornwall #wildflowerhour Ranunculus flammula
Maer Lake near Bude, a bird reserve managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust. Surveyed for plants today with special permission. The only bird I disturbed was a Pheasant!
If you get confused over what type of Red Clover you might have found, i.e. Red, Zig Zag or Alsike, check the stipules. Red Clover has a membranous stipule with a bristle like tip, the others don't. The leave here looked like Zig Zag, but the stipule proved otherwise. T. pratense
The beautiful Spring Squill along clifftop turf at Efford Head near Bude. They even managed to survive intensive sheep grazing, so I guess they don't taste very nice to ruminants. The last photo shows the typical habitat for them. Scilla verna #Cornwall #wildflowerhour
Tall Ramping Fumitory along a road verge today near Bude #Cornwall this species' flowers are quite long and thin compared to the other Ramping Fumitories. This variety is also the only one with a concolorous upper petal. Fumaria bastardii var bastardii #wildflowerhour
A surprise find of Early Meadow Grass at Maer Lake #Cornwall today. I brought a bit home to measure the anthers to be sure, but the sickly green colour and tiny all green spikelets are distinctive. Poa infirma #wildflowerhour
A 60mm macro lens isn't ideal for wildlife photography, but I managed a reasonable photo of an Orange tip butterfly today on Cuckooflower at Maer Lake #Cornwall
Bogbean with a horrible name and a beautiful head of white fluffy flowers with pink buds. A gem in the bog that's for sure. Maer Lake #Cornwall #wildflowerhour Menyanthes trifoliata
The first few Yellow Iris in flower at Maer Lake #Cornwall today. There are thousands of them here, so it will be quite a sight to see in a few weeks time. Iris pseudacorus #wildflowerhour
Marsh Horsetail with a strongly ridged stem with small central hollow. Branches are present, but are usually short. Equisetum palustre. Maer Lake #Cornwall
Water Horsetail, Equisetum fluviatile Maer Lake #Cornwall this plant mostly lacks any branches, but may have stubs poking out the stem. Check the stem hollow to confirm ID and that your plant isn't a hybrid.
Not the most attractive flower, but a flower nonetheless. Common Spike-rush, Eleocharis palustris, Maer Lake #Cornwall #wildflowerhour
It's nice to get a photo of Cuckooflower photo not bleached out, even in direct sunlight. To do this I used f18 setting which increases depth of field and restricts light entering the lens too. Cardamine pratensis, Maer Lake #Cornwall #wildflowerhour
Marsh Marigold still looking fine in a bog at Maer Lake #Cornwall today. I've never previously noticed how attractively coloured the seed pods are either. Caltha palustris. #wildflowerhour
A section Celtica dandelion at Maer Lake Cornwall today. I haven't yet had time to ID it. One of hundreds in a damp meadow. #wildflowerhour #DandelionChallenge
With the lighter evenings I’m out late on Sundays now, so I’ll be rather late for #wildflowerhour tonight. This is near Bude today where I was botanising

A trio of pea-o. Slender Trefoil Trifolium micranthum, Bird's-foot Ornithopus perpusillus, Dpotted Medick Medicago arabica. Hampshire. @BSBIbotany
Umbilicus rupestris, Pennywort. Seen lots in Devon and once before in East Sussex - on the churchyard walls of Winchelsea. This is only thr 2nd time I've seen it in Sussex, here on the Ardingly sandstones of Harrison's Rocks. @Sussex_Botany @BSBIbotany
Think this week's going to see an avalanche of early-season peas, following a definite pause due to recent cool conditions. Here's Subterranean Clover Trifolium subterraneum and Bird's-foot Clover T. ornithpodioides. Hampshire. @BSBIbotany
@TrisNorton Never mind. All three I managed to sample here in vc41 (including the two I thought were faeroense) turned out to be that too.
@TrisNorton I guess so. Think my problem is in wanting to find an interesting dandelion to ID and always choosing them from mire habitat, thus 3 nordstedii in a row (none correctly identified either!). Perhaps I should try sand dunes next.....
26/4/24 Kent - Dropped by Kent in preparation of our @Mariposa_Nature orchid tour in early June that I'm co-leading with @dunnjons. Was a nice excuse to catch up with this awesome mirrorless Early Spider #Orchid (Ophrys sphegodes). Reminds me of my hairline! #wildflowerhour
Shepherd's Needle along the cliff top Brighton, Sussex.
Adder's-tongue (Ophioglossum vulgatum) at the A41 Bypass, Herts. Created in 1993 the bypass involved cruelly slicing through the chalk hills from Harrison’s Moor through beyond Tring. Gleaming chalk seemed inhospitable, but by 2000 was increasingly clothed in scrub.
@Botany2021 @Roger_TL45Y @RSPBLakenheath @Wagner__Markus I have the Flixweed, but many thanks for the thought.

Well, looks like it's neither faeroense nor berthae, but rather nordstedtii...
Taraxacum faeroense (determined by those with more experience than I!). Hatchet Pond, New Forest, Hampshire. Last recorded here by Lady Anne Brewis (former VCR) in May 1971. #wildflowerhour #DandelionChallenge @BSBIbotany
Seeing a recent offering by @NatureLark we were reminded that we had Broom with red and yellow flowers growing on Bostall Heath. And still do: the Broom was burnt to the ground couple of years ago but has now regrown and is flowering again...
@Botany2021 They really stood out amongst the white ones.
