I came across some common knotweed and sheep’s-bit. And the ivy in the garden is starting to flower, here visited by the Batman hoverfly - I like that name. It is called skull hoverfly in Dutch.

Bit of a rubbish phone shot, but this is Shaggy Soldier, on the pavement underneath the bike rack in town.

Didn't find many #ClimbingPlants this week but yesterday I finally saw some flowers on the Narrow-leaved Everlasting Sweet Pea that grows in my front yard, descended from seeds liberated from the wild population at my mother's local railway station. #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #ClimbingPlants.

In Gaspe the other week I stumbled across Sibbaldia.

I was familiar with this mountain specialist from British field guides, but had never actually seen it - and here it is, in Canada.

Its weird, because the flowers are like a rose family (Potentilla comes to mind), but the leaves are very Clover.

Quite a few alpine species are found in both Canada and Europe.

#ClimateDiary i also just signed up for #ProjectDandelion - a #ConnectedWomenLeaders #CWL project. I first learned about it in an #OutrageAndOptimism interview with #MaryRobinson and #HafsatAbiola - in the same week that #WildFlowerHour did #Dandelions! A clear sign already but just now my sister Sophie sent me this painting- she too had just heard of Project Dandelion from a friend! So i feel i’m meant to join. I do think building #ClimateAction networks is key
