Seeing the Changes 427

Yesterday at the National Botanical Gardens Wales, noted some Waxcap toadstools (possibly Blackening waxcap Hygrocybe conica) in the farmed section. Also saw lots of Great burnet (Sanguisorba officinalis) and Sneezewort (Achilla ptarmica) in bloom in the meadows. In terms of critters, got shots of Common blue damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum), Caddis flies and a slim hoverfly (Episyrphus balteatus).
