And finally, a few more #FavouritePlant (s) from this year.

Looking forward to next year, with #TheWinterTen in the meantime... ❄️

Managed #theWinterTen on today's litter pick, with a dozen species in flower. Highlights were Sweet Violets (Viola odorata), my 1st Primrose (Primula vulgaris) of the year, ever-reliable Yarrow (Achillea millefolium) and what I suspect is Common Whitlow-grass (Erophila verna agg). #WildflowerHour

The rain came and all plans to have a wander looking for Wildflowers came to a halt. So for this week, just our very reliable, and joyful town centre Gorse, and these pretty hazel catkins #TheWinterTen #WildflowerHour

Good evening #WildflowerHour I spotted my first primrose, celandine and Snowdrops of the season this week. Looking a bit weatherworn by the frost, but lovely to see #TheWinterTen

My last chance to properly do @wildflowerhour.bsky.social as I go back to Tasmania after pantomime. I just about scraped #thewinterten, with a couple of naturalized escapes, but oregon grape at least looks superficially enough like holly if you squint to be amongst #FestivePlants! #WildflowerHour

@BSBIbotany #NewYearPlantHunt Isle of Mull: I got my #thewinterten! Photos rubbish due to mad winds. Daisy, gorse, prickly sow thistle, herb robert, dandelion, oxeye daisy, mouse-eared hawkweed, common groundsel, Poa annua, and ?barren strawberry. A new one for me. @NatureLark

Surprised myself by managing to find ten slightly bedraggled plants in flower on a rainy walk around our village today. Dandelion, daisy, red valerian, red deadnettle, hazel, primrose, yarrow (red and white forms) petty spurge, and white deadnettle.
