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! 🎉

A particularly perfect Pyramidal Orchid blooming on our local roadside verge, which is left to grow wonderfully, beautifully wild each year ❤️

I was spellbound by this amazing spectacle this afternoon! A mass of stunning Seaholly set within a golden carpet of Kidney Vetch & punctuated by hundreds of the beautiful purple-tinted spires of Seaholly Broomrape, Orobanche minor var. pseudoamethystea!!! Absolutely dazzling!🤩
#wildflowerhour
Another member of the fascinating Orobanche family, the beautiful Seaholly Broomrape is parasitic on Eryngium maritimum and other halophytic plants. Lacking chlorophyll it obtains all its nutrients from its host.

After seeing @jillwhitelock.bsky.social beautiful Grass Vetchling photo here during last week's #WildflowerHour, I was so, so excited to finally spot my first this week! ❤️ What a stunning little #wildflower it is 😍

A glorious selection of chalk downland #wildflowers from a wander atop Barton Hills earlier this week, in the very #landscape my love of wildflowers was first sown many years ago ❤️

It's always so rewarding to take part in #30DaysWild each year, gifting more focus, and an even greater appreciation for, the everyday #Nature experiences we all enjoy 🥰 I can't wait to get started tomorrow! ❤️

A little patch of Germander #Speedwell from earlier this week. It's blooming in such profusion at the moment, adding such vivid blue amongst the greens 😍 Just perfect for #WildflowerHour ❤️

Another favourite from this week's wild adventures was this little Bush Vetch plant just beginning to open its magenta flowers ❤️ I just love their little leaflets 😍

Yellow Corydalis growing high in a wild walled garden for the #wildflowerhour #highupplants challenge 💛 It added a lovely splash of sunshine against the bright blue sky & fresh green leaves.

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.
