Oops on the Poppy (Greater Celandine) - thanks @naturelark.bsky.social for reminding me! I glimpsed your message before it disappeared and ‘age verification’ -scam, perhaps? - won’t let me access messages.

First image, in particular, just spectacular.

I’ve yet to see either this year!

Anther four from the #CabbageFamily - Eastern Rocket, Greater Celandine, Smith’s Pepperwort and Charlock. #WildflowerHour

Great image!

It’s #CabbageFamily time on #WildflowerHour! Honesty, Shepherd’s Purse, Cuckooflower, Danish Scurvygrass, Garlic Mustard and Hedge Mustard are all having a good year so far round west Wiltshire.

Daft moth!

Rescued from what?

I was very relieved that the Ash felling work hadn’t affected this population in Becky Addy Wood, Jeremy.

And some #notWoodlandPlants for #WildflowerHour Crosswort, Germander Speedwell, Spring Sedge on the ‘ramparts’ at Avebury, Wild Plum, Hairy Violet, Glaucous Sedge and Field Woodrush. All in Wiltshire.

Fab selection!

Some #WoodlandPlants for #WildflowerHour great favourite Herb Paris, Bluebell, Greater Stitchwort, Wild Garlic (no flowers there yet but such a lovely setting), Goldilocks Buttercup and, less pleasingly, masses of Few-flowered Garlic covering wood floor and verge near Colerne.

One of two groups of Harlequin Ladybirds with lichen on a sarsen at Avebury yesterday #WildWebsWednesday

I can get behind that! Though I thought it was yesterday 🤔😉

So where has this hop put itself? The old, long re-purposed brewery buildings! Would be nice to think it’s a relic.

Fabulous!

Ran out of time last night but these were my best finds last week, both in Trowbridge. Smith’s Pepperwort Lepidium heterophyllum (many!) and Eastern Rocket Sisymbrium orientale #WildflowerHour @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Wow! What a lot you got!

Thanks Jeremy - yes, masses of it in a wood where I searched unsuccessfully a few years ago!

Lovely, Moira!

Very late for #WildflowerHour but here are Moschatel, Cuckoo Pint, Cuckoo-flower, Slender Speedwell, Cowslip and Wild Garlic from Wiltshire

Wonderful to see them in such profusion!

That rings a bell - my mother perhaps

And today in Trowbridge. Irresistible little plant.

I was about to check the DDb with mouth agape and eyes like saucers!

Dappled not Blotched

#UrbanBotany is the best! (As well as all the other kinds!). Corsican Hellebore Helleborus argutifolius, Blotched Hawkweed Hieracium scotostictum and Silver Ragwort Jacobaea maritimum. I really admire these opportunists.

Interesting looking sedge? buds? to the left of it

Definitely over-achieving there Jeremy! 😄 Well done!

Quite - a real surprise in an equally surprising urban patch of Great Brome!
