Todays plant is in honour of Angus Lunn who died yesterday. Angus made a huge contribution to the understanding of Northumberland's ecology, and single-handedly demonstrated the importance of the border mires and inspired their restoration. Look him up, that's only a part of his important work and achievements.
So here's an indistinct photo of a very important tree, one of the Williams Cleugh Scots Pines. (see reply for more info)

Dandelions are common as muck. Right? Well not really. There are 250ish species of dandelion in the UK, and this one is probably the rarest plant I've seen. It's the St Kildan Dandelion (Taraxicum pankhurstium) It's found only on St Kilda. It's also the easiest to identify, because it's the only species of dandelion on St Kilda. It's closely related to Icelandic species.
