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...

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 am a bit late for #WildFlowerHour but after reading #RobertMacFarlane’s comment on how much #Cowslip there was this year, and everyone else sharing their pictures, I spotted so much too - nice how these conversations alert you, and to be enjoying this all together. And masses of #Dandelions everywhere too. As someone else said: it seems to be a yellow year! Though a few #Bluebells too 😊
