I feel a sense of intense frustration that I don't 'know' our local trees and flowers, and that, despite all my efforts with two identification books, I still can't find some of them - yet 'Mrs Sheep' manages it in German! Looking at the better of the two books now, the identification is obvious. I also accept the criticism that I should always show a leaf or two as well as the flowers: will try to do better in future. Again - thank you all.

Member of the cabbage family (4 petals) closely related to the notorious bitter cress which is attempting to take over my garden. Also closely related to scurvy grass.Rob Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01171485289540292359noreply@blogger.com
