Cowslips in flower, April 7th '19

"This is very encouraging; between us, we planted lots of plugs a few years ago, b ut I thought they’d all been lost to the mower. Perhaps being near to the fence they have found their niche. I’m so pleased."

"Wow, Des. Wouldn't want to argue on this! And I should have guessed you wouldn't go for even a tentative ID without getting a second expert opinion. All I can say in my defence is that I have zoomed in but really can't see any sign of…"

"Des, I think the hairs you can see are on the occiput behind the eyes. The hairs on the eyes of the male S. torvus are extremely small and just wouldn't be visible in this photo, even if they were present."

Hi Simon, The only change implemented by me was adding the FoSAP image to the home page. I have not made any changes although the service provider 'ning' might well have done. If you have any worked examples then give me a shout and I will try and contact ning for help.

Thanks
