Burdock blank

Last week we stopped by a wildflower area we've been working on on NCN768 between Alva and Tillicoultry in Clackmannanshire. It was stunning with lots of Marsh woundwort and Oxeye daisies and was covered in Soldier beetles and bumblebees (including new queens) and a beautiful Antler moth. But the patches on that path still need some tending with the docks and other ruderal plants pushing through. I asked my ecologist colleague what an interesting plant was...."that's the Burdock that we were pulling out last time"...the one I tried to learn a few blogs ago. Sigh. The memory skills of a 40-something. Oh well, learning is learning, even if you have to do it over and over again...!
