Wild flower identities?
I'm including a few photos of wild flowers in a DVD I'm making. Taken
by my wife during our walking holiday in Devon last summer. Would like to add name captions so would much appreciate identification please. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...133834-JCz.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-120142-JC.JPG https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...122912-JCp.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...120600-JCc.jpg https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...111514-JCz.jpg -- Terry, East Grinstead, UK |

I side with Chris Hogg, in that it's a labiate (as thyme is) but it's unclear which. They can be quite easy to confuse, and the leaves and scent are important for distinguishing them.

If you compare the leaves in this pic http://media-cache-ec0.pinimg.com/73...ea135d9bb0.jpg with those in https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...133834-JCz.jpg both look to be alike |

(Definitely not Galeopsis; I'd go for Thymus polytrichus, but none of the thymes grow round here, and I'm not familiar with them.) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...-120142-JC.JPG Yes, Saponaria officinalis (note spelling). https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...122912-JCp.jpg Oenothera biennis agg. (I don't think it's O. elata, which doesn't grow wild in Britain, but you need a closer look - and a guidebook to hand - to tell which one it is.) https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...120600-JCc.jpg Yes, Echium vulgare. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...111514-JCz.jpg Jasione montana. (Scabiosa columbaria has zygomorphic flowers and pseudo-radiate heads; Succisa pratensis is more easily confused with Jasione, but has hammer-like anthers, and a less compact habit. Jasione is rare up here - I know 3 sites and it's not always present in one of them - but I understand it to be quite common in the southwest.) In the vernacular, thyme (?), soapwort, evening primrose, viper's bugloss and sheeps bit. -- SRH |

I am more familiar with it growing in different conditions. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
