Notes
There is a large patch of this growing alongside Rabbits Road, along the edge of Manor Park Flats. Much of the patch is the double-flowered form of Soapwort, commonly grown in gardens, although in the photograph it isn't quite as evident. There aren't any houses in the immediate vicinity, and I wonder if it was introduced there by means of "seeding" from a passing car?
