Wasn't trying to deceive, fenrman. One of the grass like leaves is visible to the right.


The 'fleshy leaves' are Crowberry, I believe - you can even see unripe berries forming if you look closely. Makes a very fine camping surface - I slept on Crowberry last night.

Maybe they will name this after you, if it is a new species - ornithogalum umbellatum richardii  O0 .


 :) Oh I sincerely doubt that!

The opinion of the Orkney Field Club Vascular Plant Recorder is that it is a dwarf form of ornithogalum umbellatum, seeded from a garden or possibly a place where people dump garden waste, but very unusual nonetheless. I suspect that a few people will be up there with cameras this week judging by what is being said on facebook!

Had a bit of a wildlife/nature wander on Monday in an area that seems to be good for a bit of everything, including some lovely wild flowers...


A white variety of Milkwort....





Wild Pansies...





Meadow Vetchling....





Scarlet Pimpernel....





And my favourite of the day...
A Marsh Orchid... 8)

Lovely close ups, Sunnydale.

The natural wild form of pansies are so much nicer than the vulgar overblown garden varieties.

The consensus now seems to be that it is in fact a white form of Squill (Scilla verna).

If you have Photoshop or such like you can make a copy and then click image, resize, then just upload onto your host site.


If you use image shack, you can resize your images as you upload them, use the resize button.
