The vegetation here is, as I have said, much more luxuriant than I am used to finding on the hill tops I usually frequent around the south west of Scotland. I have begun to take more notice of the plants I find wherever I go. I photograph them and then when I get home try to work out what they are. I am no authority on plant life and I find the sheer numbers of different plants that there are quite mind blowing. It must be a life's work just to have a thorough knowledge of nothing else but wild flowers in all their different forms - but you have to start somewhere, and when you look closely at them they offer so much visual interest. So just join me in looking and hopefully, learning - as far as I am concerned anyway. This plant below grows to around a metre in height and I wonder if it could be a Lesser Burdock or Wood Burdock perhaps.
