Plant Twitch




Spring Squill (Scilla verna)


Thrift (Armeria maritima)


Purple Milk vetch (Astragalus danicus)


With directions from Stewart I was at Cullernose point on Wednesday looking for Spring Squill. It has a Western distribution but this is its most Southerly station on the East coast. Also here were Purple Milk Vetch which has quite a healthy population along the Northumbrian dunes.
