#wildflowerhour Magenta asters, bright with rain, Their golden hearts outshine the gray; While autumn gathers in the leaves, They hold a little burst of May. #photography #eck #autumn #eastcoastkin

I had given up on finding spiked speedwell flowering this year...until today on Nant-y-gamar. Not big but had got its bid in to flower after the long earlier drought. Also dropwort,harebell and rockrose still in flower #wildflowerhour
Common pear and gorse flowering on a sunny Sunday afternoon for #Wildflowerhour the pear was suffering from drought damage so this explains the second flowering this year.

A fungi-tastic walk today at Powerstock Common, Dorset meant I was in the same boat as @botanybeck.bsky.social with my phone full of #fungi pics! 🍄🟫🍄 Love the diversity of fungi, and so excited to find the fruiting bodies of Green Elfcup - just look at that colour! 😍 #wildfungihour #wildflowerhour

A walk around Swindon on Thursday found some Wall Bellflower still going. It's common on walls around the centre of Swindon, but was hit hard by the drought. #WildflowerHour
A few clustered bellflowers still to be found today #WildFlowerHour
One of my favourite autumn colours is this beautiful Bog Asphodel (Narthecium ossifragum). Even on a gloomy day, this beauty adds a splash of red. ❤️ #WildflowerHour

It takes a brave ladybird to seek cover amongst the hostile-looking hairs of Bristly Oxtongue (Helminthotheca echioides) but in mid-October who could resist the shelter of a sunshine yellow canopy? #wildflowerhour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social
Pale toadflax (linaria repens) and harebell (campanula rotundifolia) still blooming this week at The Holies, Streatley (W. Berks). #wildflowerhour
