The shallow lake has dried out and new plants are colonising, some I think I know others I need help please.
1 Bog Pimpernel
2 Celery leaved Crowfoot
3 Water Crowfoot (high and dry)?
4 Forget me not?
5 Bedstraw?

Thanks Chris, could it be a hairy version of Marsh Speedwell?

 

[dunedin]

Agree with Speedwell, go for Marsh (Veronica scutellata) usually hairless, but suppose that means you get hairy ones as well, lvs narrow and oblong often untoothed

Thanks dunedin.
Does anyone think that this book by Francis Rose "The Wild Flower Key (Revised Edition)" would be of any use to help me identify plants.

Its a good book, particularly if you are getting really interested in your plant ID. Billed as a bridge between academic floras and picture guides. I have a copy and have found it useful.
