CHOKED BY AN OLD MAN


As you start up the slope towards the pylon at Filnore Woods, the hogweed and grass are pushing through a rather rampant ground cover plant.  


It's wild clematis / old man's beard / traveller's joy.  
The spiky white flowers are just beginning to open.


In autumn and winter the seedheads will be covered in white fluff, 
giving it the 'old man's beard' name.
