Walk up Gooseberry Lane

We walked from Willington Corner to Gooseberry Lane, down the path to Boothdale and back.
We saw lots of flowers, some in gardens, some wild.

WILD GARDEN PLANT FAMILY LATIN NAME orange or brown wallflower cabbage erysimum yellow celandine  buttercup ficaria verna yellow primrose primrose primula vulgaris yellow dandelion daisy taraxacum officnale yellow daffodil yellow forsythia yellow groundsel or  daisy Senecio vulgaris yellow ragwort daisy Senecio jacobaea white daisy daisy white hyacinth hyacinth hyacinthus blue grape hyacinth hyacinth muscari blue bluebell hyacinthoides non scripta  (or hispanica) purple violet various primula primrose pink or red camelia I thought we saw groundsel but Ruth said it was ragwort, ah well, they are closely related. Not sure if Tom & Emily have remembered more. If Tom wanted to learn Latin he could start with the names of plants. I think celandine is called verna because it flowers in spring. Officinale means it is useful. Vulgaris means common.
