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

@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.

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...

Purple Loosestrife doing OK by the edge of what's left of the lakes at #RSPB #MiddletonLakes on Monday. Very little else still flowering. #WildflowerHour #Birmingham #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Another #WildflowerHour offering for #CommonNames - Lady's Bedstraw. One of those where the traditional folk name gets used by the botanists. One of very few species looking OK on Monday at #MiddletonLakes. #Birmingham #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A rather dry and shrivelled specimen of Tansy, which was exciting for me as I don't see it often around here. On Monday I was at #RSPB #MiddletonLakes where I saw this. #WildflowerHour #Birmingham #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

I was already planning to spend Saturday looking for Round-leaved Sundew in the #NewForest. So of course, given the challenge was #AquaticPlants, it wasn't in flower. This set of buds was as close as I got. But I did see Marsh St John's Wort, Bog Pimpernel and Lesser Spearwort. #WildflowerHour #Hampshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
