Beautiful Hoary Plantain (Plantago media), quite scarce in Ireland but thriving in this #GreatIrishGrasslands site in Co. Limerick (VC H8)
A real treat to see it during the @bsbibotany.bsky.social field meeting with @ollysflora123.bsky.social 🌿💚
#WildflowerHour
#Greatirishgrasslands event at one of the soon to be announced new Grasslands Trail sites.
Thanks to Burren in Bloom for inviting me
Brilliant, just what we all need, with sedge season not far off!

Before we all fled X, I asked around for people's experiences of Konik ponies. #Greatirishgrasslands. We have just posted a beautiful film about winter grazing with these ponies and conservation cattle. Check it out youtu.be/w26QfaGXGqM?...
A Redditor recently keyed me in to Maria Long (Irish Grassland Ecologist) & her talks on Semi Natural Grasslands in Ireland. Fantastic ability to bring conservation & agricultural audiences together! This 2020 Teagasc signpost webinar with is a great primer #GreatIrishGrasslands
