At Rainham RSPB reserve highlights included Flowering Rush, lots of Chicory along some tracks, one Salsify + a few patches of Vervain.
From the train I noted a large colony of Dwarf Elder beside the tracks at Rainham Station.

FOTD probably Ploughman's Spikenard but I was pleased to see a large bush of Spurge Laurel when I went along a different path to normal at the end of our walk.

I saw the same Ploughman's Spikenard as aeshna5, but I'm going for the Deadly Nightshade that he also showed me at Denbies today. Deadly Nightshade

Quite a bit of Devil's-bit Scabious today at Bookham. Lots of Common Fleabane + surprisingly still lots of Lesser Spearwort.

Walking through a local meadow patch this morning some of the flowers that had been cut back a couple of months ago have started flowering again- Meadow Vetchling + Lady's Bedstraw being two such examples.

An area of grass on an industrial estate not too far from home has some interesting flowers in it. The area is cut every few weeks + star find were several plants of Blue Fleabane- possibly the only local site for it.
Also Field Madder + Common Storksbill flowering.
