Unknown wildflowers
I have a couple of unidentified wildflower photos from yesterday. Can I add the images into a post and ask for an ID. The last time I put an image into a post it dissapeared after a few days. Or shall I just add them straight into the gallery as a "wildflower"?
Thanks.

I think you can only put them into the gallery - and then post a link.

Have to keep in mind that you may have species there that I'm not familiar with!
1/2 are Himalayan balsam, Impatiens glandulifera - an invasive species.
3 is the ripening fruit of spindle, Euonymus europaea
4 is not there !
5 is a toadflax, probably the common one Linaria vulgaris ...
I think

Very impressive! I half suspected the toadflax was toadflax after a thread on WAB a few weeks back.
I am not sure what you think is missing as you have ID'd all three plants (3 plants , 4 pictures)  .
Many thanks, I will check them out then ask Stuart to rename the ones in the gallery  .

A new unidentified flower
Has any one any idea about this delicate little wildflower I saw today. It's flower was only about 15mm in diameter. There were quite alot of these around, growing close to the ground. Thank you.

With the usual caveats - I would say this is herb robert, Geranium robertianum. Last autumn I found a similar plant with white flowers - until then I hadn't realised that it also came in white .....

Yes, I have just checked it out and Herb Robert looks a perfect match. I can't say I noticed any white ones though. It's easy when I have a name to go on! Thanks Paul.
I wonder how much longer we will still be seeing wildflowers for, every week they seem to be diminishing - at least there is the fungi  .
