Flower Walk 7 Aug 03

Martyn Stead leads flower walks on the first Wednesday of the summer months - May, June, July and August. The walks start at 7pm from the car park. We do not have an extensive database of botanical information on our site. If you want to know more about any of the flowers listed here, we suggest you visit the Reticule web site. The site will also help you name a flower based on the description you can provide.

Seven of us turned up. The weather was cool and overcast. Martyn Stead identified and Jonathon Barritt recorded.
