Even a newbie should be able to recognise some simple things like oak
trees which indicate acidity, or nettles which are a good indicator
of fertility.


LOL you'd be surprised Martin


Quite. My husband can recognise daffodils, grass, roses (when in bloom),
ivy, dandelions and holly.

Anything else is 'a plant' or, if large enough 'a tree'. It has taken some
years of intensive training to get him that far.

But then, I can't name a single Belgian cyclist...
