ID help, please
A friend found a solitary plant in woodland on Islay yesterday which neither she nor I can identify. On the assumption that it is a garden escape - there are gardens within a few hundred yards - I'm asking for help here. Photos at: www.indaal.demon.co.uk/flower.htm Thanks -- Malcolm |

It's very given to strange flower forms - whether through hybridisation or just as sports, I'm not sure. I have a plant in my garden which has a double flower just like yours at the moment, although all the other flowers on the plant are single. And I have a photograph of one at Salt Lake Nature Reserve in the Yorkshire Dales which was cristate, with leaf segments among the petals - just the one plant growing amongst many other wood avens of normal type. I think I remember wood avens from around Ardtalla, along with a lizard basking on a rock, and swimming with seals in the sheltered bay. But it was a long time ago! |

remember that I have a G rivale with a double flower ... If it can throw up a double on a plant with single flowers, I think its highly probable that it can throw up a plant with all double flowers.

I was up at Salt Lake Quarry again yesterday, and once again saw a cristate G rivale (not the same plant as I saw before), and that was almost red in flower. |
