Aberrant form of Common Spotted Orchid from Kent with strange flowers that don't appear to have spurs. Peloria or pseudopeloria?

An impressive olive tree near Tarvin in Cheshire, with an equally impressive colony of the moss Nogopterium gracile. The tree has been in place for at least 3 years but most likely Nogopterium was already on it when imported from northern Italy. @BBSbryology

@alisonhaynes1 No problem. I need to revisit and see how it's doing.

It's so wonderful to see this post about bryophytes in the lane where I walked to primary school in the UK many moons ago! Thank you @LemonStephen!

An excellent wood for bryophytes. We saw lots of Hyocomium armoricum and Scapania undulata along the ghylls.

An old graveyard at Southborough Common with an ancient woodland flora, including wild daffodil and a few graves that have lawns of Rhytidiadelphus loreus @BBSbryology

I had a cycle out to Ivychurch and Brenzett on the Romney Marsh to appreciate the native Black Poplars Including the native sapling in a ditch at Ivychurch near to the female tree Fantastic work by @KentFieldClub in funding DNA clonal analysis and @LemonStephen @BSBIbotany

Aw forget previous post - when did I ever let shit photography get in the way of posting bryo pics? Odontoschisma denudatum Barbilophozia attentuata + perianths Harpanthus scutatus +exciting local extras Scapania umbrosa Thanks to @Trichocolea for organising #liverworts

The hybrid sedge Carex otrubae x divulsa, growing among colonies of both parent species, near Sevenoaks Weald. Occupying the damp base to a steep bank with its C. otrubae parent. The C. divulsa parent growing on the dryer ground above.

'Bullet holes' created by emerging Hornet Clearwing moths, along the base hybrid poplar trees in Dartford. Very grateful to Ray Winterman for showing me these.

Great to see Tunbridge Filmy-fern on rocks where I haven't seen it before, last weekend at Eridge Rocks

Hay-scented Buckler-fern at the bottom of the photo, a much brighter green than the Broad Buckler-fern above it. Seen with the @BBSbryology South-east Group along the edge of the sandstone cliff face at Eridge Rocks last weekend.

Tennis ball size nest made of Carex vesicaria, just found in a pond at Chiddingstone Reserve. Assume this is Harvest Mouse.

@Trichocolea Thanks Brad. I will try and work out where the marshes might have been.

@Trichocolea Brad can you interpret the rest of the bottom line other than Peckham?
