A tiny plant in a hard place. First Shining Crane’s-bill (Geranium lucidum) coming into flower #Conwy #UrbanPlants #WallPlants #UrbanBotany

An hour to kill?
Is it possible that the fabulous @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social doesn't know that his #UrbanPlants talks are #AppointmentViewing, just like #TheTraitors?
Such modesty!

Caught - quite literally - between a rock and a hard place, Procumbent Yellow-sorrel (Oxalis corniculata) is one tough cookie #UrbanPlants #PavementPlants #WildflowerHour

Procumbent Pearlwort (Sagina procumbens) in its very unnatural natural habitat. We need a term for these road-dwellers - tarmacophytes maybe? #UrbanPlants #PavementPlants @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Dandelions, growing wherever they damn well please 🌱

Our friend @trevorthebotanist.bsky.social really loves his #UrbanPlants and sharing them for #WildFlowerHour
Maybe he should write a book all about them?
Ivy-leaved Toadflax (or Coliseum Ivy, Wandering Sailor or Bastard Navelwort, amongst other names) is having its moment. It’s been brought on early by the drought & heat, so I’m revelling in it’s glory while it lasts #UrbanPlants #WallPlants #PavementPlants #Bangor #Conwy #WildflowerHour

Even this narrow bin-lined alley in Birmingham has a fern growing from a downpipe #WildflowerHour ##UrbanBotany #UrbanPlants

Hairy finger-grass for #hairyplants #Wildflowerhour

As days become longer and warmer our urban flora is beginning to gather steam. Here’s Common Whitlowgrass (Erophila verna) growing - as it so often does - on a bed of moss on a pavement #UrbanPlants

Ivy Broomrape, Orobanche hederae, growing at the edge of a pavement in Weymouth #wildflowerhour #urbanplants

At this time of year I become obsessed with the little lines of moss you find along mortar joints. Wall screw-moss (Tortula muralis) does this superbly, seeking out the lime-rich concrete #urbanplants #bryophytes #Conwy #wallplants

Urban flowering season bursting into life with Common Whitlowgrass (Erophila verna) speckling pavements, walls, brickwork and concrete. Love its tiny cleft petals and spring-fresh vibe. So common, yet so ignored #urbanplants #urbanbotany #pavementplants #wildflowerhour

Super-vibrant Californian Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) re-seeding itself from a wildflower mix sown last year in a patch of amenity lawn, Conwy #urbanplants #wildflowerhour

A great plant! Now common in Glasgow, and establishing in towns across the central belt eastwards towards Edinburgh #UrbanPlants
Love plants of Rue-leaved Saxifrage (Saxifraga tridactylites) at this stage of their short lives, their beautiful little rosettes gearing up to do their flowery thing in a few weeks time. Real urban pioneers, you can find them on pavements & walls in many towns & cities #UrbanPlants
