Sea shell identification please.
Mon, 18 Dec 2006 20:52:07 +0000

identify from any of our shell books.
Very superficially, they resemble common flat-sided periwinkles
(Littorina littoralis). They vary in size from 1 to 2 cm in diameter,

Early wild flowers
Thu, 14 Dec 2006 15:31:28 +0000
I was out walking with my wife this afternoon, in the vicinity of Wadebridge
in Cornwall.
I was struck by the number of "Campion" that I saw in flower. Also what I

I take it this is unusual and possibly due to warmer winters. In our garden ...

Sun, 19 Nov 2006 02:50:54 GMT
Last one.
I waited over a month for the buds to open
and when they did was greeted with what appeared
to be a colourless, uninteresting looking mini dandelion clock.

Request for wildflower identification
Mon, 13 Nov 2006 21:34:39 GMT
Hi all,
I've placed some photographs of English wildflowers on my Flickr
website. These are currently growing in my garden.
If any one can identify these, I'd be most grateful.
I've included in the photos the leaves as well as the
flowers, which may assist in identification.
