January 2025

mid-January

hellebore in bloom

scabious in bud and bloom

Danish scurvygrass (Cochlearia danica) rosette

buck's-horn plantain (Plantago coronopus) with tiny Danish scurvygrass and common whitlowgrass rosettes to the right and Danish scurvygrass growing through it

Frankenstein plant (dandelion and Geranium molle)

beginning of January lots of rosettes

dandelions

are these beaked hawk's-beard (Crepis vesicaria)? I worry the verge and other locations where they are will be mown down in the spring before I get to see them in bloom

shepherd's purse (Capsella bursa-pastoris) on the right, not sure on the left

another shepherds purse

bristly oxtongue (Helminthotheca echioides)

I think these next two are the same but not sure what they are, they do look like dandelions but not exactly right for dandelion

pineappleweed (Matricaria discoidea), it's made itself into a rosette but not the usual basal plant rosette but and aged weathered rosette

spear thistle

thale cress rosette

thale cress rosettes

stone parsley

dock

bristly oxtongue
