Seeing the Changes 100







Black knapweed (Centaurea nigra), Southern marsh orchid (Dactylorhiza praetermissa), Tufted vetch (Vicia cracca) and Thrift (Armeria maritima) were in flower in Bynea. The first of the Ribbed melilot (Melilotus officinalis) was also peeking through and there was a profusion of Bittersweet (Solanum dulcamara) along the cycle route. In Loughor, the pink flowers of the alien Snowberry (Symphoricarpos albus) were in evidence.
