Flora from a Walk in the Park

Here are a few pictures that I took of flora during our walk in the park earlier today:

The back field has a million little mushrooms poking their heads up from under the grass.

The flowers of the Narrow-Leaved Plantain.

The seeds of Shepherds-Purse.

Not sure what this is - possibly the flowering head of Burdock.

As above.
