I was travelling in Switzerland last week with work, and stopped off to eat my sandwich in Morgins, in the Valais region, near the border with France. I had a short wander around down into the surrounding forests hoping to see some nice Swiss forest birds, but I only managed a few tits and finches.
But I did find a few wild flowers still in bloom, and a few picked over patches of fungi, which I'd be grateful for help in identifying.
Flowers:
- I think the first is Devil's-bit Scabious, but as there are several similar species, and I'm not at all familiar with Swiss flora, I'd appreciate confirmation or correction!
- Next, a species of Lamiacea, which looks rather like one of the dead-nettle species, but I'm not sure.
- And third, I think this is possibly lesser burdock, but I am not sure.
