This pic is of Bog Cotton
Was at one time picked and used.
This year seems to have provided ideal conditions for it to grow.
Near Loch Stempster there is a white carpet spreading across the Glen.
I hope someone can name the others, i think one is a Spotted orchid
The 3rd pic looks suspiciously like the early purple orchid to me
7th maybe ladys smock or cardamine pratensis
8th pic is on the tip of my tongue and it is eluding me, i'll get back to you!
been told where an apparently rare plant is growing and hoping to get to photograph it in the next few days, called something like an oyster plant? can anyone confirm the name?
Good luck on the other ID's, i'll watch with interest as i see plenty of the yellow ones round here and think they are very pretty
