Wow: we both Find and Identify some Navelworts

We had been out on the Bicycle and were on our way home. Whichever way we came we had to climb some pretty steep hill(s).

Anyway: one of the possible routes is bordered on one side by a High Wall. We had always wondered if any Plants grew on the Wall so decided this was the opportunity to take a peep.

And Yippee: we found some Navelworts (on the Kent Rare Plant Register) viz.




The first we had ever knowingly seen. Remembering the Plant has 'fleshy' leaves, we opened our Wild Flower Book and without much ado went to the Stonecrops &c. And Wow: there it was! But as to how it got there?

Grid Reference: TQ 5096978026 or thereabouts.

The Sighting has been submitted to the Kent Botanical Recording Group (KBRG).
