We expand our search for Stonecrops/Sedums

We visited the Grounds of St Paulinus, Crayford and the Cemetery of St Mary the Virgin, Bexley.

[I] in the Grounds of St Paulinus, Crayford, we found Reflexed Stonecrop and White Stonecrop: plus assumed Caucasian Stonecrop (not yet fully flowering).

[ii] in the Cemetery of St Mary the Virgin, Bexley, we found Caucasian Stonecrop viz.



and White Stonecrop.

In more general terms, we were disappointed to see that the Grounds of St Paulinus, Crayford, have been strimmed in the general, 'get rid of everything', local' Council way. Sadly, no sign of any Harebells.

Wild Flower' Species seen in the Grounds of St Paulinus, Crayford, included:

Black Spleenwort (growing on the Church Walls)
Common Mallow
Creeping Cinquefoil
Herb Robert
Lady's Bedstraw
Mouse-Ear Hawkweed
Pellitory-of-the-Wall 
Reflexed Stonecrop
Ribwort Plantain
White Clover
White Stonecrop
and Wild Clary 

And Wild Flower' Species seen in the Cemetery of St Mary the Virgin, Bexley, included:

Common Ragwort
Greater Plantain
Lady's Bedstraw
Hedgerow Crane's-Bill
Meadow Crane's-Bill
Ribwort Plantain
Rosebay Willowherb
White Clover
White Stonecrop
and Yarrow

Footnote: we found a Harebell growing in the Grounds of St Mary the Virgin, Bexley. But no Stonecrops/Sedums.
