6-16 Purple-flowering Raspberry, Moneywort, Deptford Pink, Horse Nettle

 6-16

Rocky woods and borders are home to Purple-flowering Raspberry.


The paired yellow flowers of Moneywort - a primrose relative - carpet damp ground.


Deptford Pinks have escaped to fields and roadsides.


And Horse Nettle's cone forming stamens prove it a member of the Nightshade clan. Look for it in sandy fields and waste places.
