Four from around yesterday. Knotgrass from some open ground near me, Autumn Hawkbit and Guernsey Fleabane growing in cracks in my front yard and Field Scabious from the wild area at one of our local football clubs.

Did I mention there was a Lesser Emperor at on Friday? Showing very nicely right in front of the cafe. I recommend the lemon drizzle cake.

Time for a photo. This is Brown Hawker which had been laying eggs and had just taken off. The first time I've managed to get a photo of this species in flight. At on Friday while I waited for the Lesser Emperor to show.

The reserve at . Come for the Lesser Emperor dragonfly, stay for the plants. This one's Cut-leaved Cranesbill.

My favourite of the in the cracks in the paving of my front yard is definitely Fox and Cubs. Most of the plants went to seed ages ago, but there are a few late-flowering ones in a shady corner near the recycling bins.

You can learn a lot about just by not weeding the cracks between the paving on your front yard. A large part of my yard/driveway can't be used for parking at present because it's occupied by Autumn Hawkbit.

Greater Knapweed. Finally found this species in - I've looked at any number of knapweeds with ray florets which turned out to be the rayed form of either Common or Lesser. At , a local reserve.

Long-term followers may have noticed that I'm rather fond of thistles. This one is Welted Thistle, at reserve during the week.

Enough photos taken on day-trips; here's one literally from my front yard. Autumn Hawkbit growing in the cracks between paving near one of my wildflower planters.
