18/2/10: Finchley fernery

Up in north London again, this time for Green Party conference.

Walls with one, two or sometimes three small Asplenium/Ceterach species were a common sight back in Bristol, but not here in drier London, so it was pleasing to come across this one-off Asplenium trichomanes-studded wall on Lodge Lane, Woodside Park, Finchley.

8/12/09: Finchley Geranium fest.

A Hop plant was noted in an overgrown 'garden' next to 227 Archway Rd.

At the foot of the tube line embankment, on the south side of the overbridge just south of East Finchley station, by some gabions, was a Geranium pyrenaicum in flower, and several Geranium lucidum. There was some Self Heal in the roadside grass verge.

In a long-grassed area in front of Park House, just north of the bridge, were Yarrow, Creeping Cinquefoil, Cow Parsley, Herb Bennett, and several Sorrel.
