Strangely we recorded both Cow Parsley and Cleavers in the same arable field.
Sheltered from the wind today at Samphire Hoe, but few flowers. The jury is currently out on this possible Sea Carrot.

Currently exhibiting a history of Crabble sports ground (the terraces have some great wild plants) and an immersive VR presentation that includes Anne Pratt. Must be a first.

The discovery of Common Broomrape had us hugging! Yes, great fun. I've put our list so far on the Kingsdowner blog. I have high hopes for the rifle range tomorrow.

I used to commute through Headley in the past, but never visited the heath. Looks good.

The summer fragrance of Meadowsweet is incongruous in November. The search continued into the dusk, at Worth marshes.

Very good, and counting pigeons too.
Astonishing numbers of flowering species in this mild month. Our blocker is Spotted Medick- have you spotted it?
