Beddington Park- Ferns and Botany

 Hart's Tongue (with Mind-your-own-business)
 Royal Fern
 Male Fern
 Polypody and Maidenhair Spleenwort
 Rustyback
 Great Burnet (rare)
 American Speedwell (rare)
 Greater Spearwort (actually in the farmlands by Carew Manor)
Water Forget-me-not
 
Met up with Gillian and Peter Wakeham with his botany group this morning to have a look at some of the special plants in Beddington Park- (Beddington Park is adjacent to the farmlands and will combine to form the regional park in the future).
As usual with Peter- an excellent outing (thanks again!), being shown things that I've walked past hundreds of times. The trees in Beddington Park are pretty spectacular and was shown a species I've missed before- a Cut-leaved Alder which was growing by the river near Carew Manor.

Will be now, if okay. What time and where's the meeting place. Cheers Steve!
