#wildflowerhour — Public Fediverse posts

@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...

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.

Today's #WildflowerHour has an #InvasivePlants challenge and I was visiting my mother just before the heatwave hit, so of course I got some pics of the wonderful Mexican Fleabane which is taking over her patio via the cracks in the paving. Resistance is futile (and why would anyone want to?) #Wendover #Buckinghamshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #InvasivePlants. Japanese knotweed? Himalayan balsam? Triffids? Find one and get a photo, as long as we get some weather where it's safe to venture out.

On Friday I was at #RSPB #BemptonCliffs where I know they have the white form of Musk Mallow growing on site. Most of the flowers were over but a few were still out. A big, gaudy flower with delicate colours. #WildflowerHour #Yorkshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

One of my favourite #WhiteForm flowers - Musk Mallow. This one at #RSPB #BemptonCliffs last weekend. The pink form's rather pretty, but the white is stunning. #WildflowerHour #Yorkshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #WhiteForm - a wild (not cultivar) white-flowered form of a wild flower that's normally another colour. BSBI suggest that for this one week we may want to use photos from earlier in the summer rather than spend the weekend searching. But that's up to you!

Field Bindweed comes in both a pink and a #WhiteForm. This clump had both forms in flower, so I could get a photo of the two side by side. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

The #WhiteForm of Musk Mallow growing at the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #BlakehillFarm on Friday. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

Two flowers for #WildflowerHour. Marsh #Thistle (#Cirsium palustre) usually has purple inflorescences, and Herb Robert (#Geranium robertianum) usually has pink flowers, but in both of these specimens the flowers are - unusually - a #WhiteForm.

pics in collage cont- Top right and bottom left are Wild Blue Flax / Linum lewisii ; my plants are from British Columbia seed, but I think Alberta natives are the same species (none in my immediate area). Behind in lower left are a Castilleja (this one also from B.C.) and Erigeron caespitosus from the montane zone west of here.

Its always a red letter day when I see Goatsbeard in flower. Not that it's at all rare, just that it only flowers in the morning, closing up after just one morning per flower, and I'm really not a morning person. At
