Another orchid from Tasmania, but I forget the species. Fortunately don't have to ID it to enjoy it. 😄 #orchids #wildflowers #wildflowerpower #WildTasmania #WildAustralia

Chasing #birds all over Tasmania, we still had time to check out some #wildflowers Here is a Duck Orchid (Caleana major) #WildTasmnia #WildAustralia #wildflowerpower #orchids

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea). Not native to Australia but there was quite a few growing in Dandenong Ranges National Park. Toxic to humans... it will get your heart racing faster than a match on Tinder 😄 #WildAustralia #foxglove #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

Yarrow (Achillea millefolium), a member of the aster family. Reasonably common across the temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. One day I will post a pic of the other Yarrow.. a town in British Columbia, Canada 🇨🇦 😀 #WildHungary #wildflowers #wildflowerpower

One for #SundayYellow - Canada Goldenrod (Solidago canandensis). Very common late summer and fall wildflower in the Hungarian countryside. #WildHungary #wildflowers #wildflowerpower

I think this is Daisy Fleabane (Erigeron annuus) but not sure. So many asterids look alike. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

A belated post for #SundayYellow Common Agrimony (Agrimonia eupatoria). Agrimony can be aggravating as the seeds pods stick to everything.. clothing, pets, etc. 😀 #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

Autumn Lady's Tresses (Spiranthes spiralis).. the only fall-flowering orchid in Hungary. It's such a tiny plant ... easy to overlook in the grasslands. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower #orchids

It's that time of year.. the Autumn Crocuses (Croci??) (Colchicum autumnale) are in bloom. A great splash of colour on the forest floor. Beautiful but don't add it to your salad. Every part of the plant is deadly poisonous 😬 #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

Hungary is a long way from the sea, but it has lots of sandy, alkaline soil. Perfect habitat for Siberian Statice (Limonium gmelini), a member of the Sea Lavender family. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

There is only one patch of Sacred Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) I have ever found in Hungary. When they are in full bloom like today, it is a spectacular sight. Huge flowers and thick round leaves twice the size of a dinner plate. 😀 #WildHungary #Wildflowers #WildflowerPower #Lotus #SacredLotus

Late summer in Hungary means Chicory (Chicorium intybus) is blooming EVERYWHERE! 😀 One of the commoner roadside weeds. This plant is one of the main commercial sources of inulin, a fructose polymer used in the pharmaceutical and supplement industries. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

As I mowed the lawn, I made circles around the wildflowers growing there. A day later, I see that the neighbours have done the same for the stray wildflowers that popped up in their lawn. #spreadthewildflowerlove #wildflowerpower

Surprised when I saw a bunch of these growing in a countryside meadow. Indian Blanket (Gaillardia pulchella). Native to N. Mexico and S. USA. Wikipedia says naturalized in parts of the world like China, S Africa, S. America but doesn't mention Europe. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

Something to brighten your day.. a huge field of Red Poppies (Papaver rhoeas). Like something out of the Wizard of Oz. 😄 #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower

One for #BlueMonday The deep blue of the Cornflower (Centaurea cyanus). The national flower of #Estonia. 😀 #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower #MondayBlues #blue

The Marsh Orchids (Anacamptis palustris) are in bloom. 😀👍 #WildHungary #orchids #Wildlowers #WildflowerPower

Hungary grows a lot of opium or breadseed poppies (Papaver somniferum) primarily for culinary use. They are just starting to flower now. In this field they were mixed with Red Poppies (Papaver rhoeas). #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower #poppies #ThePoppyFamily

My first Green-winged Orchid (Anacamptis morio) of the year yesterday. In central Europe, this is always the first orchid that appears in the spring. #WildHungary #wildflowers #orchids #WildflowerPower

Parts of the Kiskunság are awash right now with blooming Pygmy Irises (Iris pumilla) in various shades of purple and yellow. Quite a sight to see so many of them covering a field. #WildHungary #wildflowers #WildflowerPower #irises

Some Marsh Marigold's (Caltha palustris) are already in bloom. #SundayYellow #WildHungary #Wildflowers #WildflowerPower

Lamium purpureum.. Red Dead Nettle. One of the commonest #wildflowers in central Europe right now. #WildHungary #WildflowerPower

Day 22 #30DaysWild
They were strimmed down on the bank outside my office, but now they bloom again. #wildflowerpower
