Seeing the Changes 307

Along the Clyne Valley cycle track, there was lots of Enchanter's nightshade (Circaea lutetiana). Nearer to Loughor, Meadowsweet (Filipendula ulmaria) was in bloom by the roadside. At Westcross, noted the semi-parasitic Common broomrape (Orobanche minor), Crow garlic (Allium vineale), the almost-emerged Hemp agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum) and the Hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium). At Blackpill, the hips of Burnet rose (Rosa pimpinellifolia) were ripening.
