White and purple violets bloom in green grass. Yellow dandelion flowers and daffodils draw the eye back to a pruned fruit tree and a small hillside.
Growing up in the 1960s, I was an odd little kid with numerous “nervous habits” that tended to annoy the adults around me. Now that I know I am autistic, I can see that I was stimming, just like I still do today. I remember being told to stop doing so many […]

The delicate pale flowers of lady’s smock.
The latest #NoMowMay #lawnflowers discovery in the wildflower meadow (formerly the front lawn) is lady’s smock. It is a food plant for the orange tip butterfly and was once used as a substitute for watercress.
Thank you to @pennyend.bsky.social and @naturelark.bsky.social for IDing this as corky-fruited water dropwort #lawnflowers #wildflowerhour

After a slow start (a cold dry spring in Mull) there are now 14 flowering species in my lawn, which won't be cut until late summer.

Small-flowered cranesbill, Cut-leaved cranesbill and Wild mignonette flowering in the (currently) unmown lawn area outside The Hive, Ely. #LawnFlowers #WildflowerHour
A white clover flower with tinges of pink towards the base of the petals. The three-part leaves in the background are plain, without markings.
No-one said the #LawnFlowers had to be in an actual lawn. This one is Alsike Clover, the less common cousin of white clover. At RSPB Otmoor this afternoon. I went looking for it, because I remembered seeing it there in previous years. #WildflowerHour
It’s Sunday & it’s 8pm so it’s time for #wildflowerhour! Please share your pics of the wild & naturalised blooms you have found from across Britain & Ireland in the last week and for this week’s challenge don’t forget to show us your lovely #lawnflowers!!!

Have you been taking part in #NoMowMay or opting for a #NoMowSummer? The challenge this week is to show us your #LawnFlowers! No lawn? See what’s blooming in another local grassed area instead. Share your pics for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm. Happy flower hunting! 🌸🌾🌼
This year for #LawnFlowers #WildflowerHour there's been a big uptick in Luzula campestris, after an otherwise slow start with the very cold early spring. I've had cuckoo flower in my wildflower lawn for the first time, and it looks like being a bumper year for yellow rattle.
These Bee orchids have had their ‘wings clipped’ #lawnflowers but don’t worry #wildflowerhour this is the most watched ‘lawn’ in SW London
Can you have too many buttercups? Nope! Especially not when it comes to Bulbous Buttercup #NoMowMay #FieldsOfGold #wildflowerhour #lawnflowers @Love_plants @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany
Biggest orchid surprise of the week... this Northern Marsh Orchid emerging from a planter in our garden. Not quite #lawnflowers but close! #wildflowerhour
If you've done #NoMowMay and #EveryFlowerCounts we'd love to see what's growing in your lawn. Last year over 200 species were recorded including rarities like orchids and knotted clover. Share with #Lawnflowers for @wildflower_hour 8-9 tonight @Love_plants @BSBIbotany
Oh no! I forgot our daisies for #GardenWildflowerHunt! Do they count? We've got lots! 😊
#lawnflowers
This pretty little plant has decided to colonise a small corner of our mostly unmown lawn.
Germander speedwell (Veronica chamaedrys) I think?
Hard to believe many people treat it as a weed!
And good news. Our Head Gardener says it can stay! 😃
