Sea Buckthorn is so good for you - more #vitaminC than oranges and lemons is just the start of it - and has so many uses I don't know where to begin. I have yet to try ice cream made from its #berries...

Last of the Nettle-leaved Bellflowers, blooming in the shade of a copse.
Is it me or has it been a lousy year for flowers? Too long, hot and dry I guess.

This Elderberry's suffered over the decades but it's hanging in there. The younger trees are dying, parched.

Rock Samphire cascading down the cliffs at Winspit. Edible but nowhere near as succulent as Salicornia.

#Buttonweed - a so-called 'wool alien' - has been naturalised in the UK over the centuries, thanks to their seeds being attached to the fleeces of sheep imported from all corners of the Empire.

Some beautifully bright Common Fleabane for this week's #WildflowerHour, which added such lovely sunny colour to a rainy day ❤️

Such a lovely little #wildflower which is so beneficial for #wildlife ❤️ I'm lucky enough to have this flowering in a local wood and I'm always astounded at how many insects are attracted to its flowerheads!

Chuffed to see that Small Teasel (Dipsacus pilosus) has reappeared in a local park following an absence of almost a decade. Might well be the only plant in the whole city! #urbanflora

Beautifully dainty Meadow Cranesbill for this week's #WildflowerHour; their thin, lilac petals catching the bright sunlight so perfectly ❤️

'And weeds that bloomed in summer hours
I thought they should be reckoned flowers
They made a garden free for all
And so I loved them great and small'

Happy Birthday #JohnClare! 🎉

The advantages of travelling around the U.K. for work. Today in the Lake District, Cumbria & caught up with the RSPB Foulshaw Moss Ospreys & White-faced Darters. Then nearby & after a bit of searching managed to find 3 Dark Red Helleborines. #ukwildlife #ukbirds #ukflora #ukdragonflies #ukorchids

English scenes from a Canadian abroad. Not sure whose soul needs these views today but mine does. Wish I could grow lavender like this. #Saturdaystuff #UKflora
