I reckon I spotted a hefty stand of hemlock a few miles from the first - my eye is getting tuned to telling it apart from hogweed and cow parsley...
I'll see if I can get my head around stopping mid-ride to take a a photo..
But I stopped to confirm figwort on the warm-up part of the ride - having passed it multiple times.
I do most of my plant-spotting at 10mph - I'm doing better these days as I actually wear glasses....
.Only the second time I've encountered this plant.

I do my best plant spotting at night, GG. Wearing a headlamp. It was a revelation, although I was pretty used to moonlight gardening and the nightly mollusc hunt, Walking in a heavily planted landscape was a real surprise. The headlamps really illuminate quite a small area while the immediate background is completely blacked out. It gives a tremendous focus on indvidual plants - possible to detect single seedlings which would just vanish into the general mish-mash in daylight. Really emphasises the sharp shadows and clarity of the plant structure.Try it, if you haven't already. Has parallels with spotting at speed because in the vague blur of vegetation, it is the anomalies which stand out.

These leaves caught me by surprise on my cycle ride - apart from the hemlock which I now recognise, it's all common hogweed in flower at the moment but these seem more delicate...
Somehow I remembered not to manhandle these plants to see the lower ones look like normal hogweed.
Flowering at chest height ...

Apparently the "dissectum" form is just a thing ...

This is my favourite tree on my walk to and from the station. I have seen the same in one other place but its not that common.
It's beautiful. Blossom comes in spring and is abundant. In autumn the leaves go a lovely reddy colour and in winter it's bare but the branches are pretty on their own.
I want one when I have a garden big enough bit have no idea what to ask for.
This is it with its gorgeous summer leaves

At first glance I wondered if it's bryony but the leaves and stem shape arent quite right and the berries are much rounder on bryony. You might get better right ght with goji!

yep it's a bit sad- looking but you should see the state of the street it's growing in ...Looks like the poor leaves have some disease

Yep Bryony I can't help noticing - the white one being a cucurbit and the black one relative of tropical yams - unfortunately both inedible

no it's quite shrubby - my first thought was some sort of euonymous.
I recently sampled a woody nightshade and a black nightshade in the park ... "woody" nightshade actually sprawls like a tomato - I wonder what the "woody" part actually means..
The climate is quite mild here so I can imagine a semi-exotic solanum surviving even if not thriving.
I'll go and have another look at it...

Have a look at lycium gentlegreen - either barbarum or chinense...usually dried as goji berries.

Yes it's given me incentive to visit the Chinese supermarket this week and re-watch some fruit hunter YouTubes
