This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #WoodlandPlants. So technically you could post a Cowslip again.

Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum) gets its name from the pale spots on young leaves—like splashes of water. These markings fade as the season progresses. I found these striking examples in a nearby wooded area earlier this spring.

Virginia Waterleaf (Hydrophyllum virginianum) forms large colonies in woodlands and adapts well to gardens. Its flowers range from white to purple, and early-season leaves show pale spots—like water stains, which fade over time.

The Jack-in-the-pulpits are out! Arisaema triphyllum is a perennial wildflower native to parts of the Midwest and eastern North America. It grows best in shaded, moist woodland habitats. In spring, it produces male or female flowers (depending on energy reserves); the berries ripen in late summer, turning bright red.

Some #WoodlandPlants for #WildflowerHour, two from #Bristol and two from #Richmond yesterday on a rugby-watching trip. Wood Forgetmenot (probably descended from a garden cultivar), Red Campion, Honesty and Green Alkanet. #Bloomscrolling #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

And in the local wood, Wood Anemones. 2 from an old-established clump of about 30. There was a solitary one about 100 yards away, which is a good sign. Perhaps it will spread - they spread incredibly slowly.

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is self-explanatory - #WoodlandPlants. Other species are of course also welcome! 8pm to 9pm UK time on Sunday as usual. For those outside Europe, the UK is now an hour ahead of GMT/UST until late October. https://bsky.app/profile/wildflowerhour.bsky.social/post/3llwfijytes2x

Cherry Laurel growing in a wild bit of the Lawn park in #Swindon on Friday. Probably a leftover from when the park was a landscaped garden, descended from deliberately-planted shrubs. Nice flowers at this time of year, but the very dense shade isn't good for other #WoodlandPlants.

#Woodland wonders. Another very conspicuous member of our small wood is the #lungwort, or #pulmonaria. It grows almost everywhere on the #woodland floor here at home, and comes to life again in early spring. It is among the first plants to #flower and a huge attractor for #bumblebees.

There are certain spots in my garden that bring me so much joy.
I could sit and look at these Ferns for ages.
I imagine they lived in prehistoric times ...

Most of the pictures I got for #WildflowerHour this week were actually from Reading motorway services. Quite a bit of Common Storksbill there, this one being a lot taller than the other plants. I think perhaps the verge it was in got mowed in the past and this bit was missed. #Berkshire #WoodlandPlants #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

Blackthorn is really at its peak at the moment. #Ravensroost wood on Friday. #WildflowerHour #Wiltshire #WoodlandPlants #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

I went to the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #Ravensroost wood on Friday, specifically to look for False Oxlip. And here it is. It's a hybrid of Cowslip and Primrose, which has large flowers like a primrose but on the end of a stalk like a cowslip. #WildflowerHour #WoodlandPlants #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

Just Ground Ivy, growing in a woodland near me today, but this clump seemed to have unusually large flowers. #WildflowerHour #WoodlandPlants #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

The results of a trip to the #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #Ravensroost wood on Friday. Wood Anemone, Barren Strawberry, Dog Violet and Lesser Celandine. All are specialised #WoodlandPlants in the UK although the latter two do grow out in the open as well. #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography
