This is a terrific site - very absorbing and thank you for posting it. I
was interested to see that what we call 'coral' is Black Bryony or Tamus
communis and that blackbirds are associated with it. Now I know why we
have
so many blackbirds! I rather like it but it has to be said that it is a
bit
of a menace in a garden. I note this site says that it's poisonous, where
as an expert on wild plants in Crete told us recently that the tips of the
new growth are eaten as a vegetable. I think I'll let someone else try
that
out!

Why show marsh plants? There are no marshes in the area covered by my
postcode
