  1. CW: cute itsy brown butterfly + Sweet William Flowers/plants

    @plants Earlier I posted a pic of a beautiful Lacewing on Dianthus buds. Here are some more views of some of the bazillion of those plants here- in only a hint of the range of colours/patterns they will come in. They are much loved by #pollinators especially #Butterflies such as the Skipper seen in one of the shots.

  6. Today's dandelion tidbit: this is a single dandelion flower.What looks at a glance like a flower petal is, in fact, a whole flower, with a complete set of reproductive parts. Each flower head contains more than 100 of these tiny flowers, in a little community of sunny yellow. That's right, #dandelions are friendly in every way. #bloomscrolling #plantnerd

  10. Anyway, this is an attractive #NativePlant doesn't fruit a ton here, probably because it rarely gets sunny places to grow. It has great autumn colour- in shady places pale ghostly shades, and blazing colour where it gets more sun. It also releases a distinctive kind of funky aroma into the autumn woodland air- part of the magic of the season...lol

  15. @ml @johntimaeus @thebiologistisn Nice chart. Had to go back and check my soil pH to see where I was. Is there a similar chart for ion mobility in grape vines (or generic plants)? We are on volcanic soils with very high Mn and Mg. I have read that Mn is a very mobile ion and as such it can interfere with the uptake of other micronutrients such as Zn, B, Ca, etc.. I regularly add foliar nutrients to my spray regime to mitigate this as the petiole analysis is pathetic without it leading to shatter, especially on the Grenache, and hens and chicks on the Counoise. #PlantNerd #Vineyard

  20. #Drosera filiformis var. filiformis has established itself in most of its neighbors’ pots. The volunteers seem to look better than the intentionally planted ones. 🙄

    This sundew requires a winter dormancy, but it is otherwise very low maintenance. It catches tons of small insects and it flowers throughout the summer. What a delight! 🌸 🌸 🌸

  23. @plants A bit more catching up (it'll never happen, many hundreds of new photos since then...lol)- this #SixOnSaturday came from a #RainyDay or 2 in early May.#Spring #flowers enjoying the moisture.
    Top left to right Pulsatilla vulgaris Rote Glocke (funny to see that anglicised in so many places as Red Clock, which doesn't even make sense! it's Red Bell! This was oddly my latest pulsa to flower, even though in a relatively warm bed... cont--

  28. 1/4 @TradescantiaHub @plants Bought a new #houseplant the other day, something I do rarely these days, but this was something I'd never seen before- at first glance I thought I thought it was a Sansevieria, but no + the tag said #Tradescantia spathacea Silver- which I'd never heard of till I realised that was the old Rhoeo sp.But I started digging more, since it didn't look right- leaf shape was diff, though that could be varietal--
