Sorry, Jojanneke, I should have got my brain into gear before looking at your photo not after! It was the yellow flowers which were galled not the seed head,...
Hi Dian, There doesn't seem to have been any response (on the group anyway) to you pictures. The group has only just started and I think has only 11 members at...

Dear Dian, I feel quite envious of you coming into spring - we are at the end of summer with just autumn and winter to look forward to! Still autumn is the...

Janet, I heard of MapMate, but I haven't used it, so I don't know what data it can deal with. The log scale I suggested would still consist of categories: x=1;...
Hi Karsten, I have just set up a computer based recording scheme for the BPGS and am in the process of entering old card records etc. I have just finished an...
Hi Janet, it is good to know that the records are going to accessible on computer. About 15 years ago I had a first stab at that and it went to the stage that...
Dear Karsten, Thank you for your detailed reply. I think this type of discussion is appropriate for the BPGS forum but if others disagree, we could perhaps ...

Hello Scotty, About your possible gall on Myrica gale…there is nothing about it in Docters van Leeuwen also, but I checked Buhr: Nr. 4379: „Rand der...

Hello all I have now uploaded 3 pictures of what I believe to be a gall on Myrica gale (Bog Myrtle). The pictures clearly depict two raised, eliptical...
