Ling

DateMon 2009-08-24

Ling (Calluna vulgaris), otherwise known as common heather, on Great Ayton Moor.  In the process of identifying this plant, I have just discovered that for the past 50 years what I have been calling 'ling' is actually 'heather', and what I have been calling 'heather' is actually 'ling'.
