still finding new species

Coming back from the shops on Thursday morning I noticed a specimen of caper-spurge (Euphorbia lathyrus) growing next to a path.

In the afternoon I walked over to a nearby garden. On the way there I encountered white-flowered nightshades in fruit, allowing me to identify them as black nightshade (Solanum nigrum).

I came back by the canals, and found jewelweed (Impatiens capensis) and trifid bur-marigold (Bidens tripartita) growing there.

Goldenrod (Solidago) species is growing in a number of localities in the area.
