#wildflowerhour — Public Fediverse posts

A plant to plant, not a plant to dose. Cha bhris am freumh — the root does not break.

What's the one you'd put in the ground knowing you won't see it finished?

Prairie is among the most destroyed habitats on this continent, and this is one of its markers.

Everything you can see of it is built to be burned off.

The taproot goes fifteen feet down into ground nobody has broken since before there was a state there. Some live close to a century.

Nine feet up in the tallgrass, leaves turned north and south to duck the midday sun. That's how it got the name — and how people once took a bearing on open ground with nothing else to sight on.

Silphium laciniatum. Blooming right now through September.

I went looking for #TinyPlants at my best local source, a car park near our office in #Bristol. Sadly, council weedkilling got there first. It'll recover, but very little in flower this week - this Thale cress was all I could find. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Field Madder is one of my favourite #TinyPlants Almost impossible to capture the true colour of the flowers and looking too washed out here.
#WildflowerHour

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is the self-explanatory #TinyPlants.

Garlic Mustard for the #CabbageFamily challenge in this week's #WildflowerHour. This one at Henley Hawks RFC on Saturday, taken while waiting for the game to start. #Henley is in the far corner of #Oxfordshire near the point where it meets both Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Some #TinyPlants for #WildflowerHour common whitlowgrass, wavy bittercress and hairy bittercress

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #TinyPlants. As usual, photos of other species are still welcome. It's 8pm to 9pm UK time (so 19:00 to 20:00 UST now that the UK is on Summer Time).

One of my favourites for #WildflowerHour and still flowering in lots of places - Bristly Ox-tongue. This one was at #RSPB #Titchwell on Thursday.
