street weeds

When the weather brightened up late yesterday afternoon I went for a walk. Unlisted species noted -

Orange hawkweed (Pilosella auriantiaca) at the bottom of my drive.

Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) at the foot of my neighbour's garden wall.

Common mallow (Malva sylvestris) in the Station Rd. area. This population seems to be dwindling - I only noticed a single plant.

White campion (Silene latifolia).

Nipplewort (Lapsana communis) - the first I've seen flowering locally this year, but I have noticed non-flowering specimens in various places.

Hedge mustard (Sisyrimbium officinalis), which is common as a pavement and roadside weed.

Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamera) in a grassy verge just outside town.
