After working for 25 years to conserve limestone woundwort (Stachys alpina), Denbighshire's nationally rare county flower, populations have grown from a handful of plants to many dozens!

The nationally scarce limestone woundwort, the county flower of Denbighshire in North Wales. It has pinky-red flowers with a distinctive yellow eye and oval shaped green leaves.

Es ist womöglich Ceriodaphnia laticaudata, aber ich warte noch die Meinung von so nen paar Freaks ab. In der Hellfeld/pol Aufnahme sieht man die noch nicht verschmolzenen Augen eines Embryos.

Ums Eck, 10 Minuten zu Fuß ist ein kleiner Teich. Da war nie was los, wahrscheinlich weil jemand darin Goldfische ausgesetzt hat. Mittlerweile hat der Graureiher die wohl wegesnackt und gestern habe ich auf Verdacht mal Probe gezogen. Ich bin begeistert. Breites Portfolio an Zooplankton.
