I still remember names and blooms of wild flowers from my childhood days in England, but I've never heard this one before. I know the Rosebay Willow herb but I don't think I knew there was a Greater Willow herb. I do remember Toadflax, but don't remember seeing many of them. I too had the Observer's Book of Wild Flowers. The ponies are wonderful. I do so enjoy your blog.ChrisJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11550420299395301062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-19673132341925319802011-07-29T12:58:07.341-07:002011-07-29T12:58:07.341-07:00What a wonderful walk.

The chocolate dun mare has a very sweet, intelligent face.<br /><br /> I think you have solved my query about the single mallow stem in our field. I have checked the book and I think it might be a musk mallow. It is identical to the one in your photo and has those fine, feathery leaves.Dartford Warblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04352965211143836326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-77569105916346696012011-07-29T09:03:22.184-07:002011-07-29T09:03:22.184-07:00I will now be on the lookout for purple betony.

Willowherb is a more familiar term than codlins and cream, but not sure that I've seen it since our move to Kentucky.<br />The roadsides have been mowed here---woodticks and the possibility of some very unpleasant snakes keep me from doing the poking about that would be my natural inclination. Wildflowers and gardens alike are languishing in the heat and drought of July.<br />I especially like your photos of "plotted and pieced" landscapes. I, too, would have puffed in places on the walk. Stopping to rest near horses always brings them over to observe and be nosy.Morning's Minionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01912356455981434029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-82931498265012415202011-07-29T07:53:26.475-07:002011-07-29T07:53:26.475-07:00Thank you for that tour BB - lovely countryside yo...Thank you for that tour BB - lovely countryside you live in and marvellous wild flowers, very different from the ones up here. We do however have that giant willowherb - never heard it called codlins and cream before.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-84957449088736595412011-07-29T07:46:45.326-07:002011-07-29T07:46:45.326-07:00Glad to have helped with plant ID Mac n' Janet...Glad to have helped with plant ID Mac n' Janet (& Kath come to that). <br /><br />Kath - I'm wondering what colour the foal will be - I wouldn't have thought that a palomino sire would guarantee a palomino foal, used on chocolate dun - I'd have said dun was the dominant gene . . . Yet the little lad's mane and tail are white, so . . . Sounds like you had your Highland until extreme age then?Bovey Bellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13117332471600275100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-19979203017908051852011-07-29T07:40:11.506-07:002011-07-29T07:40:11.506-07:00Thanks for the walk, it's so hot here our dail...Thanks for the walk, it's so hot here our daily walk is usually miserable.<br />Glad to know what Codins & Cream are, and as always wonderful pictures.Mac n' Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05732924562630675589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8569181568013465215.post-11067782677656419152011-07-29T07:12:07.986-07:002011-07-29T07:12:07.986-07:00Codlins & Cream, or to give it its official na...Codlins & Cream, or to give it its official name, Greater Willowherb.<br />Well it's true, you learn something new every day!<br />Lovley photos, I especially enjoyed the ponies. I had a chocolate dun Highland, which turned through dun to black, to grey and then white. Interesting how they can change over the years.<br />We have yellow toad flax all along the river here, but I didnt realise thats what it was. What a beautiful part of the world you live in.Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04003521059890699861noreply@blogger.com
