: 16th – 22nd April
Shall we see if we can keep this up for another week? In which case, there are five species to be carried over from last week, namely:
Ox-eye Daisy, Leucanthemum vulgare; Rowan, Sorbus aucuparia; Procumbent Pearlwort, Sagina procumbens; Cut-leaved Crane’s-bill, Geranium dissectum; Mouse-ear Hawkweed, Pilosella officinarum
To which we can add the following ten species:
White Clover, Trifolium repens; Black-grass, Alopecurus myosuroides; Sorrel, Rumex acetosa; Black Mustard, Brassica nigra; Yellow Pimpernel, Lysimachia nemorum; Pignut, Conopodium majus; Carnation Sedge, Carex panicea; Dogwood, Cornus sanguinea; Guelder-rose, Viburnum opulus; Spindle, Euonymus europeaus
As always, I’d be very pleased to hear from anyone seeing any of these (or any other) species coming into flower in the next week, by email to simonleach@phonecoop.coop. If you could please try to submit any records by about 3 p.m. on the ‘seventh day’ – i.e. next Wednesday – that would be really helpful.
Please look after yourselves, stay safe, and I hope you all have a good week. Only another fortnight and the swifts will be back…
