Flower Walk, 6 August 2003

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.

Four people turned up in total. The Weather had been hot in the day with plenty of sun, but clouding over later. Martyn Stead identified and Jonathon Barritt recorded.
