If you get confused over what type of Red Clover you might have found, i.e. Red, Zig Zag or Alsike, check the stipules. Red Clover has a membranous stipule with a bristle like tip, the others don't. The leave here looked like Zig Zag, but the stipule proved otherwise.
T. pratense

Green-winged Orchid - Anacamptis morio on Selsley Common today

Glechoma hederacea.
Ground-ivy if you must but I much prefer Alehoof. This was a key ingredient in the brewing of ale before hops were first imported in the late 15th Century. What better than beer & botany? 🍺+

Red Campion - Silene dioica may be common but its nectar rich flowers are essential for many pollinating insects. These were quite striking in colour among paler flowers on a verge

I've long had a soft spot for this unobtrusive plant with it's tiny flowers. Wall Speedwell, Veronica arvensis. It occurs in a wide range of habitats but I most often see it on dune and limestone grasslands.

Hyacinthoides x massartiana, the hybrid Bluebell, beside its parent, the non-native Hyacinthoides hispanica (Spanish Bluebell) at an overgrown flower bed today. Intermediate in character, e.g. the hanging nature of H. non-scripta. BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

We have many different species of #dandelion in the UK. Diminutive or waving from above knee height. One thing they have in common is how important they are for our ecosystem. #InternationalDayoftheDandelion

This Marsh Violet was a new flower for me. I looked for it last year and found hundreds of plants - but no flowers!
It is known as a 'shy flowerer', meaning the plants don't flower every year.
I only found 14 flowers amongst dozens of plants with their distinctive rounded leaves.

Some beautiful pink Wood anemones. #wildflowerhour
