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...

Nearing the end of the season for the large Fleabane plant in my front yard, but it's still in flower so photos are still mandatory. How could I argue with a plant like this? #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

I'm never confident with the various species with green, inconspicuous flowers. I think this one's Mugwort. #Swindon station on Friday morning, on the waste ground by platform 4. #WildflowerHour #CommonNames #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Bristly Ox-tongue gets its name from the leaves which have spines on the flat surface not just on the edges. #WildflowerHour #CommonNames #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

One of the most widely-used #CommonNames in the UK is Old Man's Beard for the seed heads of Clematis. It has other names too, but that's the one everyone knows. This one was clambering over a patch of neglected concrete at #Swindon station on Friday. #WildflowerHour #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

On Friday morning my train was late so I explored #Swindon station looking for plants with interesting #CommonNames. Of course Butterfly Bush (aka Buddleia) was everywhere, including this one poking through a fence and making a nice #WildflowerHour image. #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

The mandatory Fleabane photo for #WildflowerHour. Taken last night just after sunset with the ISO dialled up as far as it would go. Rather pleased with how this image ended up.

The Common Fleabane in my front yard is still flowering, so it's still compulsory for me to share a photo for #WildflowerHour. It's absolutely at its peak at the moment. #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
