fejn il-ma***** dhalt?!!!

no idea stephen!

quite strange

10x! profs

saw exactly a similar specimen at Ghajn Tuffieha last week!
thought it was just a variable aphyllus.

well many floras do not list malus domestica but malus pumila. then i found it was a synonym.

probably it is one of the many forms of it

beautiful

will try to identify.
Limonium is a very difficult genus!

That would be interesting.

Been to gozo last month and passed from that exact spot.
I didn't even think about jumping let alone attempting to do what you made in2011!
Tbellahni.

still think its a variety of the common apple.
malus domestica/pumila.

but will search a bit more

just for curiosity and to further complicate your work
does amaranthus hybridus occur with a red variety?

it is a very good key.
probably the most detailed I have ever seen.

cheers

prosit. extremely well done!

keep it up!

no its not theligonum. could be kickxia.
at first thought it was parietaria lusitanica but leaves are different.

ups sorry

can't seem to figure out this plant.
found trailing on the ground at Wied Babu and Bingemma.
might be a common species which I might have easily identified with flowers.

Oyster fungi on fallen bark in Wied Babu.
? identification

ironically it has sprouted in my house on the rooftop.!
It has spouted in a pot which I bought Spartium junceum from a flowershop. so it kinda confirms my hypothesis!

btw this should be my 1000 post on the forum

Its not cultivated for ornament. It occurs as weeds in pots. Like that brassicaceae (cant remember its name), and the various oxalis species

just saw a couple of plants 'naturalised' in a garden nursery in Burmarrad. Explains the origin

keep it up! this post is extremely interesting. I have never bothered trying to identify the Anthemis species in Malta, will try next year. I always write them as Anthemis sp. in my notes. This year I have also seen a Verbascum species which was colonising a stretch of land along Manoel Island. Migh...

I don't think MWP's plants are of the same species.

no problem

it is an Asteraceae yes.
Genus Eclipta.
acccording to Pignatti it might be Eclipta prostrata.
will try to search where I saw it last year. maybe it is still present there. No idea if it was recorded from our islands in the past.

I have seen this plant last year along the roads of Pieta and Floriana. I have no idea what it is.

I think there is one, but not sure where it is. There are some young ones planted in the Foresta 2000 of Mellieha, just above Ghadira bay.

very interesting indeed. I still think they are patterns and man-made but

a big prosit MWP!

Probably Consolida ambigua.

Probably an ornamental, along with Inula crithmoides in the foreground
