Dry gras with 3 rosettes with green leaves
Rosette with green leaves with red pattern and border.
Dry gras with a brownish lichen hiding in the middle (peltegeria sp.).
#WildFlowerHour #RosetteChallenge. I have no clue what these are. Found these on the side of a seldomly used gravel turnplate while re-searching my favorite peltegeria #lichen.

A circular clump of leaves of one plant, which has not yet grown any stems. This sort of rosette of leaves is how a lot of species spend the winter.
This is either Smooth Hawksbeard or Beaked Hawksbeard. I have no idea how to tell their rosettes apart and both grew in my front yard self-sown last year so it could be either. #WildflowerHour #RosetteChallenge

Rosette of marsh thistle - leaves all growing from a central point, in a circle, flat on the ground. Surrounded by grass, creeping buttercup, and fallen oak leaves.
Winter rosette of marsh thistle. It’s very prickly

For this week’s #Wildflowerhour #RosetteChallenge it was lovely to find Bee Orchid rosettes in a new location where I’ve not seen them before! Fingers crossed they will flower this year!🤞😍

Many wild flowers survive the winter months as an arrangement of basal leaves, known as a rosette. Once you get your eye in, the rosettes of different plants are distinctive. Find & share one for this week’s #wildflowerhour, Sunday 8-9pm, using the hashtag #RosetteChallenge.

Love Shepherd's Cress (Teesdalia nudicaulis) rosettes, here photobombed by Sheep's sorrel, Common Mouse-ear? & an exquisite fossil Urchin, evidence these inland Brecks of chalk & flint overlain by windblown glacial sand, 60 miles from coast, were once seabed #rosettechallenge 2/6

Today's #RosetteChallenge is a bit easier than yesterday's. This is a common and widespread plant, and is also the #caterpillar food plant of a distinctive spring #butterfly. What's the plant (and for extra kudos, what is the butterfly)?
Answer later.
