Feral Flora Update

Papavan - our beach is looking quite bright at present
We think this is some kind of salsify
Wild Rocket (absolutely furious)
Daisies and Sorrel

We've no idea what this is and are hoping that somebody else does.  The photos are from a walk we took a couple of months ago - and it possibly isn't 'feral' as it is growing up the side of someone's terrace.  The 'fruit' area bit smaller than an adult hand, say small mango sized.  Mangos grow on trees; this is a vine and a particularly vigorous one - you are only looking at part of it.

And a well fringed fungus that grew in our garden

    Spring is definitely sprung in your part of the world. So many pretty flowers.
    Here on our side of the glob the weather has turned cold and wet

      Ahhh - those red poppies grow wild all over Europe. They proliferated in the fields of Flanders and became a symbol of The Great War (1914-18) that is still used to this day as a Remembrance emblem: in UK (11 November), NZ & Aus (25 April), and also in Canada.

    Would it be a variety of passion fruit by any chance. I remember someone telling me about a long smooth skinned one once. Maybe Mr G would know.

      The leaves didn't look like any passionfruit F had ever seen. Yamini might have the answer.

    Fabulous selection of growth for Nature Friday, Mr T. I think your climber is a stephanotis, aka Madagascar Jasmine, so definitely not a wild plant - though possibly doing its best to escape! hugs and whiskeries, YAM-aunty xxx

      OK we've looked it up now and might try collecting some seeds - if we can remember where we saw it. Thanks for that. Xxxx mr T & F

    I love the wild flowers around now. Not so many poppies this year. I wonder what that plant is. Interesting. I've never seen one like it

      Yeah I wondered about the poppies - there have been very few of them on the beach.
