Port and Wey: Portland Flora Part 1

Since moving to Portland I have come across plenty of fauna which I have recorded from day one (30 May 17). However it would be a shame not to include the wide variety of flora I have encountered. So below and on additional pages, I will add images of plants, flowers, trees, fungi etc. as and when I get the opportunity.
