  1. Day 18 of #30DaysWild

    #DriveByBotany of #PavementPlants

    Met friend for tea & errands.
    On the way home, I drive up a short stretch of suburban road with an abundance of pavement plants, some of which are native. I saw:

    Feverfew
    Evening Primrose
    (on the sunny side)

    Convolvulus
    Field convolvulus *
    Campanula poscharskyana
    Hawkbit spp
    (on the shady side)

    * Instead of roughly even radial stripes of pale pink & white, this was mostly a vivid sugar pink.

  2. #StreetWeeds and #PavementPlants from Mount Road, Southdown #Bath #Somerset #UK, life persisting in one of the most extreme habitats: the human built environment. Great Willowherb, Field Madder, Yarrow and Hedge Bedstraw.

    Out in the car to visit a group of artists & makers taking part in #Bucks Open Studios. I had to miss this annual event last year when I was mending from a #TKR .

  5. @catnip I was just thinking I needed a word for them - thanks! I love the contrariness of them, growing beautifully in places where they shouldn't be able to grow.

  7. Pavement plants: some "wildflowers" (9+), some garden escapes, and some dropped from pavement tubs or street furniture hanging baskets. All helping to keep the town cooler and the air cleaner.

  11. We love spotting a pretty plant growing out of a wall! In this case, it's a fern along Victoria Road in Swindon.

    If you've got a photo of a wild plant staking their claim on a wall, post it in the comments!
