pavement plants 2022

Sept 2022

I've seen lots of pavement plants so far this year but not so many in recent weeks with the drought and heatwave.

beginning of September 2022, there's been a bit of rain so some plants have grown

bristly oxtongue

I don't think I've seen pale flax as a pavement plant before. I'm impressed this one has gotten to this size and so many flowers (without Veolia / Idverde destroying it).

snapdragons, not the usual pavement plant but no doubt a garden escapee

creeping thistle, I've never seen it like this with new plants growing like this along a stem (on the right)

end of August 2022

It's been such an inhospitable environment, I've hardly been out botanising but was out looking at bollards the other day and came across a few plants, of course, some always find a way.

Oxalis corniculata

I'm not sure what these next two are

I think this is Eastern rocket, a very variable plant anyway but this one is struggling in this concrete environment
