Wasteland 2 – Second in a series of pictures of vegetation apparently growing naturally on wasteland and demonstrating a marvellous biodiversity. I looked up on the internet to see if this area has been deliberately seeded as part of a biodiversity initiative but cannot find any information so far. There is a wide variety of flowering plants and grasses which I am largely unable to identify with any certainty. Every few steps presents a fresh combination of species. Photographed on the margins of the flattened site of a former dockland building by the side of Pipers Walk on the Waterfront in Swansea, South Wales, 19 June 2021.
I think there is some sorrel and some red clover. The names of the remaining plants I don’t know.

The yellow one on the right could be some kind of Melilotus.

Thank you, Nannus. That is helpful. I will try and identify as many plants as I can but obviously I need a bit of help from others on this one.

Thanks Nannus. I have never heard of that before. I have looked it up and I think there might have been two species from that family: the Ribbed Melilot which was yellow here. and White Melilot elsewhere.

I had not heard about it myself, I just noticed it looked like something in the direction of clover as well so I googled for yellow clover, and that is what came up.
It is a pitty the petals of the flowers in the middle have fallen off.

Thank you, Nannus. There might be some clearer examples with all petals intact in the pictures that follow in the series.
