Water Chickweed, Stellaria aquatica, at Strumpshaw Fen. With its sticky-hairy stems it would have been a suitable candidate for last Sunday's #WildflowerHour #HairyPlants challenge, but I forgot about it. 😬

If we’re doing #hairyplants today, I give you Culcitium, which is so hairy that travelers in the Andean highlands used it for bedding, which is how it got its name. hdl.handle.net/2027/uc1.c05...

Field Scabious. Not the hairiest of #hairyplants, but it was the favourite of bees and butterflies on the #MonsalTrail this week. And it’s the one I’ve chosen for this evening’s #wildflowerhour challenge

Sometimes, I’d love to be small enough to fall into the folds of a Great Mullein rosette and just stay there. Like, forever #HairyPlants #wildflowerhour
