Hi Diane - wonderful ... I can come back and check often to learn as I go, so to speak. Once I'm through my clearing out - I'm going to get reference books and nature notes out ... so I can increase my learning as we're let loose. I need to find out some names for the plants along the seafront ... enjoy this week's walks ... you always capture brilliant things for us to see - all the best Hilary
ReplyDeleteThank you Hilary for the comment. I am really happy how this page has progressed and I am hoping that there will be more flowers that I find in July, August and September to add. I am more than surprised how many I have already discovered. Seafront plants should be interesting. Take care Diane
DeleteWild flowers are so delicate and beautiful. I knew some of them, others I never saw here where I live.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos.
Greetings
Thanks Maria. There are just so many and ID is not always easy. Diane
DeleteI simply love all wildflowers but don't have the ability to name them as you have, Diane. These are beautiful; if I could my entire yard would be filled with as many as possible. I see them as gifts from God.
