It's a stunning photo. Clearly naturalised there and not just nervously creeping out from the edge of the garden! If you use #WildflowerID to tag any you need ID on, every day or so, a few of us will deliberately look for posts with that tag and you won't risk getting lost in a busy #WildflowerHour

Found this nightshade in flowerbed outside a newly built city centre block of flats. Looked different to the ubiquitous Black Nightshade. Is it Green Nightshade? #wildflowerhour #WildflowerID

The mire at Roydon Common NNR - golden seedheads of Bog Asphodel, the last few pink flowers of Cross-leaved Heath and rosettes of Round-leaved Sundew on areas of bare peat, smothered with sticky, red, gland-bearing hairs to trap unwary insects.

I'm also curious about this plant, as I thought it was Selfheal, but the flowers look slightly different. What do we think? #WildflowerID

Noticed quite a few clematis in urban wasteland environments.
Assumed these were vitalba but later remembered another one, flammula?
Cant remember the differences

Making a colourful early autumn display at Far Ings Nature Reserve, a ragwort with narrow leaves. Narrow-leaved Ragwort (Senecio inaequidens) perhaps? #wildflowerID #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

A very odd thing to find right by a river, but it certainly looks like Corn Marigold Glebionis segetum to me. See what #WildflowerID experts think?
