I still continue to be amazed at being able to find new plants with regularity as I take lockdown walks around my home village of Oulton (VC63). Today's surprise was a large and spreading stand of Pale Pink-sorrel (Oxalis incarnata) in a churchyard I thought I had thoroughly recorded. I can only assume that in a normal May I am so busy running around with work and other things that I do not find time to walk through the churchyard. Here's hoping for a few more pleasant surprises as the current circumstances drag on through whats left of spring.
I am the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) Vice-County Recorder for Huntingdonshire (VC31) and Mid-West Yorkshire (VC64). I've set-up this botany blog to more readily share news on recent wildflower discoveries made by myself and others, to encourage wider recording, and as a way to challenge myself to take more photographs of the plants I find. See the BSBI website for more information on the work of the society and the diverse range of botany projects currently in progress.
