Great and very varied post, thank you.

Listing may be a bit anorakish, but It helps with noticing things, large and small.

We live close to Teesdale in NE England, and the flower meadows in the Dale are very special. A wonderful woman, Dr Margaret Bradshaw, has been studying and cataloguing the flora of the region for decades (she wanders the fells on horseback, even in her nineties) and has found some rare and surprising plants. When we go walking in the region we take immense pleasure and delight in 'plant spotting'.
