We have today submitted Seventy plus (70+) Records: all Plants being seen locally within the London Borough of Bexley.
We are pretty sure that in numerical terms, we will be way, way, behind the Majority of the other Participants. Individual Totals for 2017 ranged from thirty-one (31) Records up to two hundred and twenty (220) Records with seventeen (17) of the twenty-four (24) Participants registering 100 or more Records.
Not that a Low Total matters, since we saw some interesting Plants, as will be seen below. And we are really rather pleased with our List.
