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.

Very late #WildflowerHour and #ByTheSea challenge but never mind

Two species growing together: Golden Samphire - Inula crithnoides (mostly in the centre) and Rock Samphire - Crithmum maritimum (mostly to the left and right). Although they share a common name and both are highly edible, they belong to different families: Daisy and Carrot, respectively.

Samphire = (French) St Pierre = St Peter = patron saint of fisherfolk

Four from RSPB #Snettisham yesterday. Two inland species from near the car park, Caper Spurge (another new one for me) and the mandatory Fleabane. And two for the #ByTheSea challenge - Vipers Bugloss and Sea Mayweed. #WildflowerHour #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This was what I went to #Snettisham for yesterday - Carline Thistle on top of the embankment at the top of the beach. A bit past its best and not taken from very close because it was inside the bird-nesting area and I had to stay outside, but still a really berserk flower. #WildflowerHour #ByTheSea #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A classic #ByTheSea plant, from the seaward slop of the sea defences at #Snettisham. Long-horned Poppy with its very strange extremely long seed pods. #WildflowerHour #Norfolk #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #ByTheSea - easier for some people than for others!

From Tuesday: Common Dodder, a hemiparasitic plant (here on gorse). Upton Heath, #Dorset . Many times I have walked there.

#WildflowerHour #BigBigTrain

The main motivation for going to Kenfig Burrows today was for a guided walk to see the extremely rare Fen Orchids and other orchid species, including (pictured here) Marsh Helleborine. There were also gazillions of different shades, varieties and hybrids of Dactylorhiza orchids, too many to choose favorites from though we did a lot of counting for several hours. A very lush and special day.
