  1. Two UK candidates for my #FavouritePlant of the #WildflowerHour year. Sea Milkwort at Church Norton in May because I'd never seen it before and while its small size makes it easy to miss it's really stunning when seen up close. And Slender Thistle from the car park at #RSPB #PaghamHarbour seen during the same trip. I'm usually there a bit later in the summer and tend to see this when it's past its best. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

  2. No doubt about my #FavouritePlant from this summer - I'd had several near misses with Strawberry Clover in recent years, finding plants that were almost certainly this species but I couldn't prove it. In #Paris in August I found a nice large clump at the Parc Andre Citroen, showing not just the pink-tinged flowers but also lots of the very plain leaves and just one of the distinctive seed heads. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

  3. Perennial Sow Thistle is very common in the northern part of #Spurn peninsula so I always see lots of it at #Migfest. Enormous, shaggy yellow flowers shouting at you from the road verges. One of my favourites and a decent candidate for the #FavouritePlant challenge last weekend had I posted the photo in time. #WildflowerHour #Yorkshire #Humberside #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

  7. Late for #WildflowerHour but I did see some good plants at the weekend while I was at #Kilnsea / #Spurn for the always-wonderful #Migfest weekend.
    Two images of an enormous (but invasive and undesirable) Russian Vine at Sammy's Point, Sea Aster at Beacon Pond and the mandatory Fleabane photo from the scrape at North Field, where it wasn't as near to being done for the season as it is down south. #Yorkshire #Humberside #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

  13. My #FavouritePlant for #WildflowerHour would be ragwort, for attracting so many butterflies. Here’s a bush covered in small copper.

  14. @petersketch Hi Peter. I'm intrigued by the idea of BSBI being involved in #WildflowerHour as the account on bsky appears to belong to an individual who doesn't mention BSBI.

  15. The BSBI challenges for #WildflowerHour take a break from now until the Winter 10 kicks off, so this week they suggest posting your #FavouritePlant of the year. Tough choice...
