#WildWebsWednesday Shades of forget-me-nots! I love the variation of colour in these pretty tiny flowers. I have self-seeded ones in my garden and let them run wild. #bloomscrolling #DailyFlowers #vitaminN @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Yesterday was a butterfly day. Lots on the wing plus a worn peacock sunning itself on the path, my first orange tip of the year and my first comma looking stunning in the sunshine and against the white blossom #wildwebswednesday #butterflys @bc-suffolk.bsky.social @savebutterflies.bsky.social

One of the little mining bees, this one has a little blonde moustache
#WildWebsWednesday Not quite sure which mining #bee we saw on Saturday at #NTBeningborough but he/she had a super cute blond moustache! I think it's apple blossom they are sat on. #vitaminN @nationaltrust.org.uk
