I like to think up scenarios, to use so that I find out more about the countryside I am walking through,
here a few days ago I spoke to a farmer with the excuse I am interested in old farm buildings and obtained his permission to look around the outside of the farm and take a few photos. Really I was trying to find out about the ownership and occupation of land in the locality.
Not all routes lead to the expected destination, as I have found out with some of my navigation, this farm did have some unusual farm buildings, so my efforts to wheedle info out of the 'old guy', a couple of years younger than myself
, at a guess, but this I thought to a be little gem;
I had no clue to the identity of the flower, but found it to be Yellow Corydalis using this identifacation website;
http://www.botanicalkeys.co.uk/flora/content/species.asp?545took a bit of time working it out, the leaves are 'whorls' and not 'opposite' and the flower is Zygomorphic, which completely blows my head, But seemed to be worth a try.
and fired in clay there are tulips, primroses, snowdrops and wood anemonies? Botanicalkeys were no help there
Anyway hope that is of some interest.
