Flora from a Walk in the Park

Here are a few pictures that I took of flora during our walk in the park earlier today:





The back field has a million little mushrooms poking their heads up from under the grass.



This is the seed head from Common Plantain.



The flowers of the Narrow-Leaved Plantain.



An awfully small blue flower. Look at the clover leaf for a size reference.



Flowering head of a Narrow-Leaved Plantain, and departing Hover-Fly.



Flowering head of a Narrow-Leaved Plantain. As above.



A 'Little Brown Mushroom', as they call them.



White Clover.



An awfully small yellow flower head. I don't think this is Pineapple Weed. But it might be.



Tiny purple flowerettes. This is small.



Pink Clover.



I don't know what this is, but it flowers from a creeping vine-like body.



Here it is again - closer up.



The leaves from a seedling Purple Sandtree Cherry tree.



I'm not sure what this is.



I pulled a burdock leaf out of the ground to show the purple Rhubard-like stalk. This is the first year growth of the biannual organism. In the second year, a central stalk grows high and develops the burs that stick to your clothes - hence the name BurDock



A small insect on a green leaf.



The seeds of Shepherds-Purse.



Not sure what this is - possibly the flowering head of Burdock.



As above.



Insect on a flower head.



Leaves of a Purple Sandtree Cheery seedling.



The amazing colours of lichen on a pine tree.







And finally - one last LBM - or "Little Brown Mushroom".



Cheers,
