The white form of Red Valerian caught my eye today, naturalised on a wall near Torpoint, Cornwall today. I'd just missed a Clouded Yellow butterfly nectaring on it.

A beautiful evening as I cross the Tamar on the Torpoint ferry (I still love doing this every time) to give a talk to the Rame Peninsula History Group on naval aspects of the British Civil Wars in Devon this evening

Two subspecies of Sea Aster from salt marsh on the River Tamar today near Torpoint. One never grows ray petals and the other does. Genetically different too apparently, though they can cross pollinate, so intermediate forms are also likely.

So I’ve drunkenly agreed to Park Run in Central Park tomorrow which isn’t a problem. I have however agreed to a “half marathon” from Torpoint ferry to Cremyl Ferry in a couple of weeks. Not sure I’ve thought this through.
