Anyway, to cheer your day have a poppy that just popped uo at the allotment, under the grapevines. #WildflowerHour @bsbibotany.bsky.social
We found just one Field Gentian, Gentianella campestris, on The Lizard, Cornwall this weekend. A greatly declining species 😢 #wildflowerhour #bsbibotany #bloomscrolling
In amongst the steady drifts of leaves and the rusted remains of the docks, haws and hawkbits glow #wildflowerhour
Again, late for #Wildflowerhour just some gorse in a pretty Welsh setting 😁 @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social
Tail end of the flowers on Hedera helix, common Ivy, flourishing in the autumn sunshine near Reculver. Massively important late food source for a wide variety of insects, not just this Apis mellifera #wildflowerhour
Truly exquisite Cyclamen in the hedgerows of the Isle of Wight #wildflowerhour
#wildflowerhour #Compositae rule. A couple of roadside wildflowers from #Kenton #Harrow
Cat's Ear. Village green in Surrey. #WildflowerHour
Sloes, such a beautiful blue-bloomed fruit. Prunus spinosa, Blackthorn. #Wildflowerhour
Chicory, Cichorium intybus. Arable margin. #Wildflowerhour
A final few from late September in the Highlands of Scotland: varied colours of Devil's-bit Scabious and very late Red Clover. And no plant pics from the Highlands would be complete without Rowan - and Heather! #WildflowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social
Just a few flowers of betony still in evidence this week at Ashford Hill Meadows (N. Hants) for #wildflowerhour.
Chiltern gentians still just holding on at Streatley (W. Berks) this week but have been few and tiny this year after the dry spell. #wildflowerhour
New growth of Hemlock, Conium maculatum, flowering in the #Suffolk #Brecks today. #WildflowerHour
Common Ragwort and Water Forget-me-not on the bank of a drain at the edge of the River Witham floodplain, Lincolnshire #WildflowerHour
A second flush of Flixweed, Descurainia sophia, in the #Suffolk #Brecks today. #WildflowerHour
It was glorious weather to enjoy a breathtaking walk along the cliff tops to Old Harry Rocks, Purbeck today. This Hawkweed was perched right on the cliff edge peeping over at the sparkling blue sea below. #wildflowerhour
Wild Carrot, Greater Knapweed, Hawkweed Oxtongue & Filed Scabious revived by cooler damper weather at Wandlebury #Cambridge. #WildflowerHour
Late September and a long way from anywhere in the wild & wonderful NW Highlands of Scotland, on the road from Dingwall west to Ullapool. But nowhere is too remote for Ragwort to grow! #WildflowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social
A glorious weekend of warm sunshine ☀️. I came across a field full of flowering Cat’s-ear (Hypochaeris radicata) — a beautiful reminder that autumn still has plenty of floral surprises in store #WildflowerHour
#WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment And lastly, the last blossom of the Great Willowherb that kept the grapevine and company most of the summer.
Bell Heather, Erica cinerea with a view of Glen Moidart. #wildflowerhour
Nice patch of self-heal still looking good even though it's finished flowering 🌱 #WildflowerHour
Star survivor in the #Suffolk #Brecks today has to be the masses of Small Nightshade, Solanum triflorum, living up to its name with occasional sets of three flowers but lots of berries. Enjoys irrigation, some rain, and low enough to avoid agricultural activities. #WildflowerHour
