Rosebay Willow Herb

Rosebay Willow Herb
View from Carn Marth to Falmouth - you can see the English Channel just about. If you turned round you would see the Atlantic in the other direction. I initially thought this was a plant called 'honesty' but Pam J saved me from a very silly error. I know both plants perfectly well! You can see all about both plants in her Wikipedia link she sent me a little way down this page.

Yes, I see just a sliver of water in the distance if I enlarge the photo. I'll assume it is the English Channel as you say. Must be about 10 km, according to the map. In between there is a lot of beauty.

You are quite right, Ron. From a slightly higher position you can just about see Falmouth Docks but the foreground isn't as interesting!
Many thanks!

You are quite right, Pam! What a very basic mistake!
Thank you for putting me right so quickly so that I can amend the title and notes early.
I am astonished at my error. I've been familiar with both plants all my life!
I can only put it down to not having done any gardening at all for 10 years and pulling the wrong name out of my memory banks!
I do miss gardening so much!
Hope things are better with your back, and everything else!!!!
Thanks again and best wishes,
Andy

Andy.. these days I am lucky to know what year I am in !!! Garden.. I loved it so much.. I had my own little gardening business for 10 years. Here.... I have 2 acres and its reclaimed woodland really.. wild and nice in its way.. but not the garden I sooooooo wanted. I can never have that. That is hard at times. the slog is there without the reward. The gophers eat everything cept the native wild flowers(least they bring butterflies) . My precious Snowdrops are nearly all gone.. I have given up planting anything.. tween the gophers and the drought.. So.. I do understand !

That is heartbreaking, Pam!
At least I don't waste any energy in tending a non-existent garden! I just wish I had taken photos of my gardens but for nearly 30 years I didn't take a single photo!!
Best wishes,
Andy

I have to say that 'chez moi' is now Madrid and has been for over 7 years but 'home is where the heart is' and on that score, you are absolutely correct, Jocelyne!
Many thanks!

Beautiful ! Although I have mixed feelings about rosebay willowherb. It's an lovely elegant plant but it does spread into huge colonies and smothers other wild flowers in the process.

Andy Rodker club has replied to Jean
Thank you, jean!
Like montbretia, it can be a bit of a thug but it's tolerable I suppose in a place like this as long as it doesn't dominate totally, to the detriment of native species and wildlife.

Many thanks, Roger. My parents live 15 minutes walk form nere and I really thought I'd be seeing a lot more of this hill on this visit. But - sadly not!
