Not a notion. Got a pic of a strange pinky/purple flower in the Sperrins yesterday, don't know what it is either but I'll get it up here at some stage.

O let them be left, wildness and wet;
Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

From the picture it looks like a type of fungi called dead mans fingers ( Xylaria polymorpha).

Right, what's this then? Flowers look a bit like heather but it's not (as you can tell from the leaves in the pic). My only other thought is that it's some species or variety of Milkwort but don't think I've seen it before.

It was on the edge of a forest track in the central Sperrins.
What would the world be, once bereft
Of wet and of wildness? Let them be left,

Long live the weeds and the wilderness yet.

Triffids! Run!

They look like a little Aloe Vera cactus.

I've just looked through the previous posts in this thread and its now obvious that this is a baby butterwort, although i do lke the triffid idea  ;D
