Seeing the Changes 84









Lots of the trees around Swansea University seems to be further advanced than those in Bynea and Loughor. Black poplar (Populus nigra) and Penduculate oak (Quercus robur) have both leaves and catkins. The Beech (Fagus sylvatica) and Ash (Fraxinus excelsior) have impressive leaf displays. In addition to the usual suspects, Common ragwort (Senecio jacobaea), Mouse-ear hawkweed (Pilosella officinarum), Yellow corydalis (Pseudofumaria lutea), Birdsfoot trefoil (Lotus corniculatus) and French cranesbill (Geranium endressii) are in flower.
