It’s so hard to choose a #FavouritePlant for #wildflowerhour but this Moonwort standing guard over various other candidates has won my vote.

Fabulous fortuitous find on Quarryhouse Moor, Northumberland, yesterday, literally between my feet as I sat on the edge of the car seat putting my boots on… a new site for Moonwort and my first in the county #jammy #WildFlowerHour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social

I was shown this splendid thing in the Brecks today. Moonwort is very rare and sporadic in Norfolk, so super pleased to see it!

A teenie, tiny Moonwort (Botrychium lunaria) just poking through today in Teesdale. Not at its best, but a new one for this year's fern challenge... #ferns

Nordic Moonwort Botrychium nordicum in lovely lycophyte-rich montane heath in Glen Shee. Frilly divisions, and a shorter stem than lunaria, and GB plants tend to have a lax fertile frond too.

So happy to see these little ferns today, Moonwort, looking fab.

Green-winged Orchids (Anacamptis morio) just coming into flower at Minsterley Meadows with the wildlife group on Wednesday. All seemed to be rather dark in colour in this (large) population. We were also shown the Moonwort (Botrychium lunaria), which was just unfurling. #wildflowerhour

Insane numbers of Vanilla Orchids Gymnadenia rhellicani around today. Must've seen thousands. Nr Diavolezza, Switzerland. Some dwarfed by Moonwort Botrychium lunaria (literally everywhere).

Top morning for tiny frondiferous things in the New Forest (01.05.25). Found both Moonwort (Botrychium lunaria) and Small Adder's-tongue (Ophioglossum azoricum). Standard USB connector in a couple of pics to show their diminutive size. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

It feels like every time I see Moonwort it has either been sheeped, slugged or stood on, so you can probably imagine my delight at finding this perky specimen on today’s trip! 😍 #ferns

So I needed a new sacrifice for m'lair. So I decided to go to the Underworld, which is what they called Alefgard in those days. So I tied a moonwort bulb to my belt, which was the style at the time. Now, to take the Everbird cost six orbs, and in those days, orbs had dragons on 'em. Gimme six drago

Glad that our friend @commonbynature.bsky.social was able to get out of the city & see such a fab specimen of Moonwort, after all his hard work recently on #UrbanPlants:

Dunnet Links ‘half machair’ (as is receives sand on northerly winds) and its mad combination of wonderful plants. Lovely to see Primula scotica again after nearly two decades. Baltic Rush, Globeflower, Moonwort..
