Ste CookReally quite impressive thicket of Great Horsetail (Equisetum telmateia) in this railway siding at Three Bridges. Fairly easy to ID even at a distance because it’s biiiig (1 metre tall or more) and has very pale, almost white jointed stems.
Not *quite* in flower, but still made me happy - Early Purple Orchid (#Orchis mascula) in West Sussex
Didn’t make the #Winter10 with this week’s slim #WildFlowerHour pickings, but here are some slightly unseasonable Dandelion (#Taraxacum agg.), Daisy (#Bellis perennis), False Oxlip (Primula × polyantha - probably a garden escape, but naturalised on this bank) and White Dead-nettle (Lamium album). All in #WestSussex #VC13 except the lamium #Surrey #VC17
