 Hello, its been a long time since I last posted, mothed, botanised or anything, thats only due to the fact its Winter :). I am preparing a very small final P3 sequel to the Herefordshire series, and I can't wait for my first plant hunt in February! The first species of the year will be a plant with the initials of S and H and its latin is H. foetidus. Guess in the comments! Then it will likely be a G and H with latin of H. Viridis. In the time being through Winter my hobby is trainspotting and I have considered starting a blog where I keep record of trains. Anyway please tell me in comments if I should. If you are still here, thanks for reading!

Sorry about the lack of posts,

Edward

Update

 I have recently bought a new book, the full on complete one with 1,900 species rather than 900. I will be able to add rarities in that aren't in Harrap's Wildflowers, because a lot aren't. The point being this blog won't just revolve around Harrap's only, it will have anything I wanted to see, and instead, if I have seen a rare plant once I will see it again. So the blog will now include a few mega-rares or rares that aren't in Harrap's aswell as commoner, the blog will now just be about what I want to see giving it free movement and a fair few more rarities and things not in Harrap's. Note: Harrap's is a wildflower guide that until now, this whole blog was based off.

A holiday in Herefordshire PT1 - 27/08/2021 to 04/09/2021

 Sorry for the delay in getting this post out, lots to do. 

We went to Kington for our holiday this year and explored most of the countryside of North Herefordshire, Kington was a lovely place but we visited Leominster and it is quite an odd place. Anyway to the point, it was lovely holiday and beautiful countryside with us doing a lot of walking, hence I spotted a lot of new plants. Be braced for a LOT of pics. I may split this post up into parts

I need to go back again on more of a plant based trip.
