Would appreciate any species identification you can provide for any of these. I would have liked to post four photos as I have split my pics into four groups: flowers, trees, small flowers/weeds, grasses/bushes/shrubs.
Will likely post the other three images over time but I don't want to flood the forum all in one go.
I usually take photos like these when out walking as I like to pay attention to what's happening in different locations/different seasons. These photos are from a recent trip abroad - not used to finding such a variety of colour. My pics are usually of different leaves, buds, catkins and twigs - all browns, reds and greens.
I often wonder whether/what people in days gone by used the local plantlife for. Would like to increase my knowledge on this as a casual project over time. Seemingly unremarkable weeds that we see all the time and fail to consider, might have been sought after commodities in pre-historic, ancient or medieval times.
I think it was when first reading about gruit that I started to look differently upon previously overlooked verges at the side of a road etc. From there the rabbit hole deepens...
Impressive, thanks.
