#thewinter10 — Public Fediverse posts

A final 4 of my #TheWinter10 which again are mainly garden escapes. Hebe (with a bee!), Mexican Fleabane, Periwinkle and a garden Cranesbill hybrid. #Dawlish #Devon #TheWinter10 #NewYearPlantHunt #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Three plants that grow on the sea cliffs at Dawlish. Sour Fig (the new name for a plant that used to have a racial slur in its name), Osteospermum and Seaside Daisy. All garden escapes. #Dawlish #Devon #TheWinter10 #NewYearPlantHunt #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

More of my #TheWinter10 from the #NewYearPlantHunt - Trailing Bellflower and Adria Bellflower, the two common bellflowers of old walls in UK towns. #Dawlish #Devon #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

I exceeded #TheWinter10 by a long way on Friday while doing the #NewYearPlantHunt around Dawlish on the #Devon coast. 23 species in flower despite the cold weather, although a lot of those were garden escapes. The highlight was Rue, which isn't grown much in gardens so is extremely rare as a pavement plant. But there it was in full flower in a pavement beside a roadside flower bed.

I don't normally manage #TheWinter10 for #WildflowerHour but in #Dawlish on new year's eve for the BSBI #NewYearPlantHunt I recorded 30! Plus Common Rue, which I was hoping for, did flower but a few days after the deadline. Most of the species I saw were either invasives or garden escapes. These 4 are Wall Bellflower, "Sour Fig" (no, I'm not using the usual English name), Osteospermum sp and Hebe (Veronica sp). #Devon #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
