Back to Lesnes Abbey Woods to check on the Wood Sedge

We had been hoping to establish whether a Sedge growing in Lesnes Abbey Woods was either Wood Sedge or Thin-Spiked Wood Sage (see also, Of Sedges in Lesnes Abbey Woods, 15 April). Nothing doing alas: we are told the determining factor is down to the width of the leaves (apparently, Thin-Spiked Wood Sage, is a bigger Plant with wider leaves):



Wild Flower' Species seen in Lesnes Abbey Woods included:

Bluebell
Brooklime
Bush Vetch
Common Water Star-Wort
Cow Parsley
Garlic Mustard
Germander Speedwell

Lesser Celandine
