A fascinating thing about Miscanthus is its unique feature of combining the efficient C4 photosynthesis of the tropical grasses with low temperature tolerance, and that is why it is such an exciting biomass crop.

Gorse is one of my favourite plants because its bright yellow, coconut‑scented flowers brings a cheer to dull wet days, and it is also a practical plant, providing excellent shelter from wind and rain for sheep, especially at lambing time.

South Africa's national flower the King Protea - Protea cynaroides of the Proteaceae family.

Smoke can improve the rate of seed germination, mimicking the natural environment where wildfires are common.

Teff: A tiny grain, big impact:

Teff (Eragrostis tef) is a gluten-free crop from Ethiopia and one of the smallest grains on Earth.
Despite its size, it’s rich in nutrients and remarkably resilient, thriving even in harsh conditions making it a truly climate-smart crop.

Marsh Samphire

Samphire shows how nutrient rich greens can flourish on seawater, turning the harshest edges of nature into life.

I love how Buddleia attracts so many fascinating butterflies, bees and other insects

I have always been fascinated by the Poppy plant and their many different varieties which is one reason I started gardening. They are such a robust plant and very forgiving while providing pollen for bees and a place to rest due to their size.

Snowdrop

The snowdrop always brings me joy — a quiet signal that spring is on its way.

A small flower — and such powerful reminders of resilience, renewal, and the stories plants carry with them.

Molinia is Britain’s only deciduous grass. Getting its management right is a challenge faced by farmers, land managers and conservation groups across the UK, and #IBERS is leading related research plus exploring innovative ways of exploiting the abundant biomass produced.

Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)

The power of plants! How does a flower so small and so delicate produce such an abundance of scent?

I walk or run through the dunes almost every day and love the way there are never two days the same. It amazes me how it not only survives the wild storms and harsh conditions, but shapes the very dunes in which it thrives

Pearl millet, long ignored, stands strong as a nutrient dense cereal ready to nourish the future.

IBERS research is aiming to improve the drought tolerance of Pearl Millet whilst also improving the accumulation of flavonoids to boost its antioxidant and nutritional value.

The national flower of Wales the Daffodil - symbolising the beginning of spring and new beginnings.

Recent IBERS studies suggest compounds can slow the decline of early-stage Alzheimer's disease. So it's not just a bright bloom.
