A Flower for Chrispp

Hi Chris

Nice talking to you earlier.  Here's the flower I was talking about that grows in our woodland.  I've also spotted the white version of it in a friends garden which is nowhere near woodland.  I'll try and get a picture with leaves next time.



The white flower I don't know the name of:



Daisy close up:



........ and the black redstart, taken a couple of years ago with the old camera:

The blue one looks like common dog violet? If it is, then the white ones you are seeing in your friends garden are probably either Sweet violet or Hairy violet.

Does the white flower in the next photo grow as a single stalked flower or multiple flowers on a stem?

I like the new camera.

Hi Chris

Sorry I've not been back to you, got a bit inundated with other stuff.  On the white flower, the flowers come off a single stalk into a clump.

Hi Chris

Thanks for the identifications.  10€ !!!!  Think I'll fill out a membership form.

The girls from our Stitch & B***h group are also organising walks.  First one is on 25th May, but I expect I will be the one holding the group up while I take photos.
