ReplyDeleteThree or four yeas ago I decided my botanical knowledge was so limited that I ought to do something about it. I did learn quite a bit and found it all very interesting. I do have the problem of forgetting the names of plants.:-) Cheers. Brian.
My memory for names isn't what it was Brian. Every year I tell myself I'll get to grips with a particularly tricky group of plants, like grasses for example, but somehow never do. I've recently come across a very good photoguide to wild flowers called Harrap's Wild Flowers which is very useful for plant ID.
ReplyDeleteMany people had told me about the beauty of the English wildflowers. Thanks for sharing. Our wildflowers are hardly to be seen now due to the rapid expansion of my city.
