Weeds and Aliens, a set on Flickr.
I'm off the plot for some of August and I'm collecting weeds, well names of them. Where ever I go there seems to be someone talking about common ragwort, or woody sage or the medicinal properties of the dandelion flower and burdock thistle. In Yorkshire I've been trying to capture some of these roadside aliens on film, and the results are below. Some I don't know the names of and could do with some help with. The Rosebay Willowherb is common enough and I must have seen literally thousands of them in the last two weeks was finally identified in the Michelin I Spy Wildflowers book. In the same book however they have for I Spy 50 points the common nettle or Urtica dioica and Lords and Ladies only at I Spy 15 points - how can they justify that!
