These are greater stitchwort, which have a distinctive white flower where the petals are split for about half their length.

One of the taller of the common hedgerow plants.

Another set of pictures from the recent “Access all areas” session to the working greenhouses behind the Conservatory at West Park.

Weed in the bed of the Smestow, opposite the Mermaid on the Bridgnorth Road.

Actually a member of the mint family.

In close-up (above and below).

A wider view showing the flower dwarfed by grass.

The female flowers (or are they catkins?) will develop into beech mast.

The leaf-buds were just beginning to open on this tree in early April.

The flowers were just beginning to come out on this common weed.

This damp-loving plant is a relative of buttercups.

These were pictured at Bag Pool, Baggeridge Park.
