size extremes of rosettes, from a huge spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare) to tiny storks-bill (Erodium cicutarium), shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) and green alkanet (Pentaglottis sempervirens) (I think - not totally sure on that one)
spear thistle (Cirsium vulgare) initial basal rosette, over 1.2 m so far
a very small rosette on the pavement
a close-up of that rosette, I think it's green alkanet (Pentaglottis sempervirens) but I will keep an eye on it
storks-bill rosettes, the one on the right is tiny
the environment where some very rosettes are growing in the cracks, including shepherd's purse
that tiny shepherd's purse rosette from above, small but perfectly formed
