Spent today surveying an MoD site managed by @HantsIWWildlife in NE Hants, with the marvellous VC12 recorder Tony Mundell
Wonderful to forget about past 4 months & get back to serious botany

Tons of delicious-smelling Bog Myrtle Myrica gale
Bog Asphodel Narthecium ossifragum with pretty frilly bits
Poor pic of Marsh St John's Wort Hypericum elodes & its hairy leaves
A pale Bog Pimpernel Anagallis tenella

Sneezewort Achillea ptarmica (but no sneezing)
Devil's-bit Scabious Succisa pratensis + friendly Skipper
Marsh Ragwort Senecio aquaticus, so much prettier than its common relation
Lots of Bladder Sedge Carex vesicaria

Tony nearly beside himself to find a healthy population of Marsh Stitchwort Stellaria palustris (2 pics)
And tons of Meadow Thistle Cirsium dissectum, seeding profusely
Several more survey days to go....yippee!
