Early Purple Orchids with a view! I’ve had a wonderful orchidaceous afternoon admiring thousands of beautiful orchids and I was lucky to bump into the lovely Charlotte Rankin & Ryan Clark too! 😍
If I dug up 600 *legally protected* Lizard Orchids I would quite rightly be branded a criminal and prosecuted for wildlife crimes. But someone WILL be digging these up to make way for a development - and that’s fine and dandy. Madness! Joshua Styles Leif Bersweden Rebecca Wheeler
My local hedgerow is burgeoning with frothy mounds of Hawthorn & Rowan, swathes of Garlic Mustard & effervescent clouds of Cow Parsley beneath. Wilding apple blossom & Red Campion punctuate the foaming white with pops of pink. Just heavenly!😍 #Wildflowerhour #HedgerowChallenge
What can you find flowering in a hedgerow? That’s the challenge this week from wildflowerhour! Have a good rummage in a hedge (get ready for the funny looks 👀) & share your pics for #WildflowerHour this Sunday 8-9pm using the hashtag #HedgerowChallenge ! Happy hedge-diving!

27/4/24 Dorset - I led my first home tour for Mariposa Nature Tours this weekend. We made many great finds including reptiles and deer antlers as well as several fantastic plants, from peloric Spider #Orchids (Ophrys sphegodes) to Early #Gentians (Gentianella anglica) #wildflowerhour
For the #InternationalDayoftheDandelion let’s hear it for the humble dandelion, so beautiful and just so full of life! Leave a few in your garden & wildlife will love you for it 💛 #wildflowerhour #DandelionChallenge
Is there anything more joyful than a Bluebell. It was blissful to spend time amongst them today, the scent was just heavenly 💙

A gorgeous day for exploring Llanymynech Rocks. Lots of beautiful wildflowers to admire, from Early Purple Orchids, stately Cuckoo Pints, swathes of Greater Stitchwort and so many Cowslips & Primroses, their love child, the False Oxlip could also be found! #wildflowerhour
Wonderful to chat with Rebecca Cornwell today about Shetland's rare plants, and the shadows that the passage of time and the hand of man have cast upon them.
Can you help Rebecca Cornwell Rebecca Cornwell? She's working with UHI Institute for Northern Studies MountainStudiesUHI & Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh to research how historical writings about Shetland's wild plants eg Shetland Mouse-ear 👇 help shape our modern understanding of rare plant ecology & how this informs conservation.
Have you seen a Cowslip in bloom this year? This week’s challenge is to find one and share your pics for #wildflowerhour this Sunday using the hashtag #CowslipChallenge . Happy flower hunting! 💛
I've always wanted to see a truly hypochromic Serapias tongue orchid - an extreme one - but until today had only ever looked longingly at photos of these great rarities in books. That changed this afternoon when my Mariposa Nature Tours co-leader Andreas Corso found this beauty... 😳
