Penderyn Mineral Line

 Lords and Ladys, great too see so much of it growing along the line.




 I found Water Aven growing along the ditch on the Mineral Line, I don't remember seeing it there before.

Bog Beacon as found by Mark and seems to be growing in a small area in a damp ditch.

  3. I noticed that some of the Water Avens up there are of the intermediate hybrid (Geum x intermedium) between Water Avens and Herb Bennet. They have yellow or yellowish petals, instead of the normal pink. In fact, some of the flowers in your photos seem to show yellow petals.

  5. Herb Bennet is more of a woodland species than Water Avens, but where the latter grows in or close to woodland with Herb Bennet, the hybrid isn't uncommon.
