Spectacular swathes of Common Valerian & Dropwort at #AstonRowant #NNR. Two of my favourite flowers & Dropwort always characteristic of old #grassland in my experience. When does Dropwort ever colonise any new areas today? The Valerian scent was beautiful. @bsbibotany.bsky.social #wildflower

The Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui). Aston Rowant NNR last summer. Butterfly of the Day in @europebutterfly's #FebruaryButterflyMonth.
