The Lincolnshire Bird Club

A few days ago while butterfly spotting, I spotted a plant I've never seen before with the brightest yellow flowers ever seen, took a few snaps and then over the days went through the field guides and Google trying to name it. In the end I found out it was a Common Evening Primrose a native of North America according to the book. Later my mate found out it was a " Sundrops " . Not sure if they are common or rare. I've just done a search on the Plant section but couldn't find it. Also checked it out on Google and Bing. When I get round to it I will try and upload some snaps on the album.

Regards

John

I often use one or other forums on the NaturePlus website to identify things.

This is the link to copy and paste for plants:

While out last Saturday teatime on owl watch I had a drive down Black Bank and spotted the EP "Sundrops" which I'd spotted last year in the same place but a month or so earlier. On Saturday it still had two flowers in bloom with possibly two more to come out, they are a very striking plant and flower for months. Also nearby was what looked like a Snowberry but not sure as yet, I did take some pics of each. It added some colour to a drab looking lane.
