Is this the best blue to be found in nature? Got to be a contender! Spring Gentian at Widdybank Fell today #WildFlowerHour wildflowerhour BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland
A distinctly pale theme to this week's #wildflowerhour montage...
πΈ Poet's Daffodil, Burnet Rose, Common Stork's-bill, Thrift, Ramsons, Green Field-speedwell, Star-of-Bethlehem, Kidney Saxifrage & Meadow Saxifrage.
A moment of #wildflowerhour appreciation for these fabulous Early-purple Orchids (Orchis mascula) spotted on the Northumberland coast yesterday.
Couldn't resist this intrepid roadside Ramsons (Allium ursinum) in Heaton. Not your everyday pavement plant! #urbanflora
Discovered a wonderfully neglected back alley on today's walk. Chock full of Dusky Crane's-bill, Green Alkanet, Three-cornered Leek and even Perfoliate Alexanders. Lines between planted and naturalised blurring significantly! #urbanflora
Turns out Lemon Balm is a common #pavementplant in Shieldfield. Who'd have thought? π
Such a lovely morning with Dwellbeing Shieldfield and Shieldfield Art Works exploring plants as part of #GosforthsWildWeb . Excited to visit again soon!
Kidney Saxifrage (Saxifraga hirsuta) flowering its head off in Urban Green Newcastle Jesmond Dene today. A harmless escape and rather nice to see! π #urbanflora
Campion, Chickweed, Ragged Robin, Sandwort, Stitchwort and Mouse-ear are just some of the lovely members of the Pink Family or Caryophyllaceae! Find one blooming for this weekβs challenge & share for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm using the hashtag #PinkFamily πΈ
Looking forward to a nature spotting walk in Shieldfield this week with James Common. Join us to explore what natural wonders surround us in our urban environment.
With Dwellbeing Shieldfield, NHSN and the Forum Cafe.
