Close-up of a teasel flower head with a ring of pale purple blossoms emerging around its spiky surface. The background shows blurred greenery and a second teasel out of focus.

The first teasel in bloom this season, its ring of tiny purple flowers standing proud against a spiny crown.

Clump of wild irises on a twiggy woodland floor, at the foot of a small tree. It has strappy green leaves and pale yellow flowers.

Closer on the iris flowers, pale yellow and brown. The strap-like leaves are glossy and faintly ribbed.

Close on an iris flower. They're pale yellow, with brown and a tingle of purple at the bases of the petals. Three lower petals arch downwards like tongues, three are poised horizontally, and three, slightly yellower than the rest, reach upwards.

Irises in the woods! Our native iris foetidissima blooms so subtly and so briefly I rarely spot it in flower, but I couldn't miss this clump! #Bloomscrolling #WildFlowers #BSBI #Botany #BritishFlora

British bluebells grace the woodland floors bring carpets of spring time joy 🥹

#bluebells in #bloom. A moment of calm to #breathe and remember the #naturalworld is a goddamn bigger, better, and feistier than #DumpAndCo

On Saturday I got to hunt down Purple Saxifrage with the Bradford Botany group, climbing 400m up onto Pen Y Ghent. It was my first time seeing this beautiful plant and I was not disappointed! #Botany #Ecology #BritishFlora #Botanist
