As you know find the indicator species and this tells you which trees will grow well or not:001_smile:

 

I have an area with marsh marigolds (king cup) so wetland trees here

I've been out after dusting off my Canon 10d and taken a load of photos.

 

Problem is now I have tried to download onto my comp I've found out that windows 7 is not compatible with the 10d software, I have to use a card reader to import. I'll have to wait for my daughter to come home to show me how to get them

[Dean Lofthouse]

These are all taken from within my woodland except the first which is on my drive and last which is my front garden.

[David oakman]

That is a nice wood you have there Dean lucky man:001_smile:

I'm liking this thread, how about putting some names to the pics? Splendid 'flies on a turd' composition BTW.

[Dean Lofthouse]

It amazing how quick the flies get to work Giles, the turd wasn't from my dogs either, just a present someone left for me. I'd rather they left them like that than in a plastic bag though

 

I was rather hoping someone could name the plants for me, I haven't got the foggiest except for the rhodies, dandilions and thistle

 

Oh...and the Bluebells

[Giles Hill]

I recognise these and am fairly sure of them, apart from the goldilocks.

The yellow flowered meadow is probably buttercups.

 

I'd like to know what the others are - I'll have to get a decent book.

 

Aquilegia (Columbine)

 

Hogweed (Heracleum)

 

Fox glove (Digitalis)

[Giles Hill]

Wood goldilocks (Ranunculus)

 

 

Burdock (Arctium)

 

Rosebay willowherb (Chamerion)

 

Red campion (Silene dioca)
