We visit the Bexleyheath Cemetery in search of Harebells and Sedums/Stonecrops

In view of the rigorous mowing/strimming regime (although flowers growing on Graves are not strimmed: yet anyway) we were not really expecting to see any Harebells but Yippee, we found a few viz.


We found Reflexed Stonecrop (Sedum reflexum) scattered around the Cemetery and absolutely masses of White Stonecrop (Sedum album) viz.



We also found some Sedums/Stonecrops we are assuming to be Caucasian Stonecrop (Phedimus spurius) but will check with The Sedum Society to confirm: the flowers ranging from a pink to a seemingly darker, reddish pink viz.





In more general terms, Wild Flower' Species seen included:

Bird's-Foot Trefoil
Black Medick

Common Mallow
Common Mullein
Common Ragwort
