local rosettes - February 2023

Walking through a local park on the way home from the station today I noticed some rosettes. Veolia / Idverde is regularly spraying weedkiller in there but I don't think they've started yet this year so I'm joying the plants while I can.

catsear

nipplewort

green alkanet

hedge mustard

hawkweed oxtongue

shepherd's purse

bristly oxtongue

geranium molle

creeping thistle

lawn daisy (Bellis perennis)

salad burnett

smooth sow thistle

ragwort

black medick but

I'm not sure on this, the only thing I can think is close is horseweed but didn't know it could be so hairy

I think this is horseweed

left to right, horseweed, willowherb (small below), red valerian

I went back a couple days later to look for Eastern rocket, couldn't find any but I did find some others

wall lettuce

I think this is a dandelion but will try to keep an eye on it and see how it develops

a younger example of black medick than the other day's

red valerian

wood avens

creeping buttercup

a larger ragwort than the other day's

dock

red deadnettle, admittedly not very rosette-like, one of the few things in bloom

another in bloom, shepherd's purse

those distinctively shaped seed pods make identification of shepherd's purse easy (excuse the poor photo)
