Teesdale
Some of the flora I'm discovering around Barnard Castle in Teesdale and in Upper Teesdale.
In June 2013 I joined the Naturetrek group on the Wild Flowers of Upper Teesdale trip; special thanks to our botanist leader Dawn Nelson for expertly guiding us and enabling me to see and photograph many of the Teesdale Assemblage of rare and local plant species.
For Orchids please see my Orchid Gallery.
