I’ve managed to be in unerringly the wrong place for the #wildflowerhour #HarebellChallenge and #DeadnettleChallenge and now I’m in the Lake District I’m not #ByTheSea Here’s a belated thread anyway @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social
Mixed grasses with a lot of small blue bell-shaped flowers. Sandy beach and blue sky in the distance.
Are we still doing #HarebellChallenge ? These ones are at St. Baldred's Cradle on the East Lothian coast.
These photos would have been great for last #wildflowerhour #HarebellChallenge. It is amazing how prolific these plants are, clinging on to cracks in the mortar on the railway bridge.
Harebells can be found nodding their delicate blue heads on the north coast of Ireland - seen here with Rathlin island in the background.

Acid heath over Dalradian limestone next to the sea, including Harebells and virtually adjacent Grass of Parnassus; Port Ramsay, #IsleOfLismore #HarebellChallenge #Wildflowerhour
A post-and-wire fence extends into the distance. The grass at the base of it is full of blue flowers.
According to @osbert.realise.earth , #harebellchallenge is a thing. So here is a fence-full near Soutra, not far from where the A68 crosses the Lammermuir / Moorfoot hills.

#HarebellChallenge #wildflowerHour A patch of delicate Bluebells on a a rural roadside verge near my home. They are so beautiful.
Oh no! I got distracted by the BBC Prom on BBC4 and missed the @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #harebellchallenge Sorry I'm late but there was just one on the North Yorkshire limestone on Friday.
A bit late but here are some self seeded harebells in my garden for the #HarebellChallenge #WildflowerHour
Late for the #wildflowerhour #HarebellChallenge, a small patch I found this afternoon, rain-spangled and blowing in the breeze...

A wonderful #WildFlowerHour & great that our plants had a good drink this week after the long drought!
Many thanks to everyone who shared pix this evening, especially so many harebells for the #HarebellChallenge.
Have a great week & keep an eye out for the next @wildflowerhour.bsky.social challenge!
A quick trip to Saltfleetby/Theddlethorpe NNR at Rimac to find specimens for #HarebellChallenge for #wildflowerhour

This photo, 2018, I'm including it to give you idea of the extent of my obsession.
Campanula rotundifolia, Harebell, a widespread taxon, but assessed as Near Threatened on England Red List.
That's shocking.
Vulnerable to N deposition & competitive grasses.

No harebells, but I do have clustered and nettle-leaved bellflower for the #WildFlowerHour #HarebellChallenge. Also, keeping at least to the blue theme, meadow cranesbill @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social
Main part of image is a white funnel shaped flower - Bindweed
3 pink striped Bindweed flowers
For the #HarebellChallenge it had to be #Rathlin again:

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social #wildflowerhour #harebellchallenge Quite a few at Figsbury Ring near Salisbury Wiltshire, a Neolithic and Iron Age hilltop site that I nearly got blown off this afternoon, hence the limited image!
Yellow wild flowers - tiny flowers are bedstraw and the pea family yellow flowers are Bird's Food Trefoil. Middle right there are 4 purple seed pods like the foot of a bird
For the #HarebellChallenge on #Rathlin again. Found these Bedstraws with Bird's Foot Trefoil + seed pods forming a birds foot
