There were/are loads of thse sprouting up alongside the canal today. They are only tiny about an inch or so high, but I haven't got a clue what they are

That's unusual, and beautiful.

I think that's an emerging Mare's Tail, an ancient type of plant, hated by gardeners, I understand! (But very photogenic, return to re-shoot!) (Later, when it's developed)

The more I look, the more there is to see!

I think its Mares Tail too, it usually grows by ponds, and stream, when it opens it doesn't have any petels or stamens just tiny flowers in the upper leaf axils.I think its lovely and I'm very found of wild flowers. Jim I have sent a reply re; pink blossom flower with the info you asked me for, Cheers Trixie

Chrers everyone and thanks Roger and Trixie for the info, I'll take a wander back and try to get them when they flower.
