The New Year', Winter Plant Hunt

Whilst visiting the New Woolwich Cemetery (the Royal Borough of Greenwich) in search of Lichens we decided to give the New Year', Winter Plant Hunt, a bash. We hadn't intended to but after seeing Yarrow in flower it seemed a sensible thing to do but we also carried on looking for the Lichens.

In the Cemetery we found:

Annual Mercury
Cow Parsley
Daisy
Green Alkanet
Groundsel
Mouse-Ear Hawkweed
Narrow-Leaved Ragwort
Oxford Ragwort
Sow-Thistle
Sun Spurge viz.


White Dead-Nettle
and Yarrow

and on the way Home we added:

Creeping Thistle
Gorse
Ivy-Leaved Toadflax
Jersey Cudweed
Red Dead-Nettle
and Shepherd's-Purse

to the List.  Not bad: we are quite pleased with the Result. 

The Records have been submitted to the BSBI...
