speedwells

Speedwells are well established on my allotment, but as they are weeded out they don't usually reach sufficient maturity for identification. However yesterday I had a look round and identifed wall speedwell (Veronica arvensis), slender speedwell (Veronica filiformis) and green field speedwell (Veronica agrestis).

A specimen of thyme-leaved speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia) has colonised a pot in my garden. (I've been seeing this in various places, but not locally. However, this morning, I came across another specimen near the lake in the centre of town.)
