The tutor discusses his field find of rose campion.<\/h1>\n

In a way, this identification is a reverse one. Normally, one might notice a plant in the field, then check the guide to identify it. This plant I noticed first in the guide, then recalled seeing it around. I decided to find it again in the field for confirmation.<\/p>\n

While I recalled the plant being common, I didn’t see it so quickly as expected. In fact, a few weeks passed before I saw some. However, this morning I did, growing in gravel by the sidewalk.<\/p>\n

The plant was exactly as I recalled: pale bluish-green foliage (maybe even greyish), with red flowers about 3 cm across. It’s about 50 cm tall.<\/p>\n

On the specimen I saw, the petals follow an “over-under” pattern: a petal overlaps the previous one, but then gets overlapped by the next one. There are five petals.<\/p>\n

I’ll be sharing more of my field finds:)<\/p>\n
