Moorland Flowers - 26th July - Baitings to Great Manshead

I am sort of making a series of this moorland flowers thing! I really enjoyed seeing the Yellow Rattle. As usual, any help appreciated.
Is this new Heather growth or Crowberry?

  1. I think your first image is new growth of Heather. The yellow flowered plant is a brassica but I would need to see the seed pods to identify it. Your Goldenrod looks like Narrow-leaved Ragwort, absent from most guide books but often found in Calderdale as a relic from seed in imported wool to the mills. The last one looks like Common Mouse Ear but Stick Mouse Ear is also common once you recognise it.
