      Really lovely photo, I would tend to agree with you on the identification by looking at images on Google, however I know nothing on plants so really this is Wildflowers area of expertise, may I suggest you post this on the forum and hopefully she will take a look if she has time. Quite happy to create the species if it is correct.
      This will help:

        I did, but it is hard to tell from this photo, there are many similar species.

          Well done Wildflower, but perhaps this one will remain in the mystery box!

    Thanks for your help :-) next time i go out, rather than just taking photos because the, light falls a certain way or, i think this dof would look great, i will have a closer look and take more photographs!! will make them easier to identify :-) Posted 11 years ago

      That's what we do... It's obsessive, I'm afraid ;) Posted 11 years ago
