For this week’s wildfloral fest, I’ve taken a couple of meanders around my town to see what I could find along the back lanes, in cracks on stone walls, on the verges, bordering the pavements, in the churchyard and cemetery. And here are the bloomers: Bramble, Daisy, Dandelion, Field speedwell, Hedge bindweed and Hedge woundwort, Hemp agrimony, Herb Robert, Ivy-leaved toadflax, Nipplewort, Oxeye daisy, my first Primrose of the season, Purple toadflax, Red dead-nettle, Red valerian, and Wood avens. Not a bad haul for late November.

I love your pictures of local wildflowers together with their names. I cycle the zig zag path so it was interesting to see your post on the flowers along it.

Thanks very much, Dave. We’ve probably passed on that path at some point. The side ‘path to nowhere’, half way up the zigzag, is nice at the moment as the masses of Winter heliotrope are just coming into flower and the smell’s lovely.

How is it that you learned to identify different species of plants? I would love to do the same thing in my neighborhood but it’s so tough! Do you typically use a field guide or does it come with experience?

Hi Jess. It’s not easy, I know. For me, it’s been a combination of guide book, help on social media, and tapping into knowledgeable people. At the beginning (I’ve only been in Britain 5 years so had to learn everything from scratch), I found it easiest to try to learn one plant a week, write about it in my notebook, then say its name each time I saw it. That helped to make it stick. I’m not much of a joiner but most places have local wildlife groups you can join, which can also help. Good luck! 🙂
