A close-up of a #plant community, monodominated by Spirodela polyrhiza in #Bulgaria. THis is a small aquatic plant, forming dense communities on the surface of various waterbodies. Many creatures like to chill around it like this frog. #bees use it to be as a way to drink water.

This summer I had the opportunity to see this extremely #rare #species of Tulipa rhodopea, an endemic plant found only in the Rhodope mountains, #Bulgaria.

Daily orchid (day 34). I’m posting a picture of a native U.K. orchid, taken by me over the last couple of years, every day, until New Years Eve. Today the extraordinary Irish Lady’s-tresses (Spiranthes romanzoffiana), Wales, June 2023 #orchid #dailyorchid

Ever since I was little I always loved the delicate, ephemeral blossoms of speedwells. So easy to miss them, so common and so unnoticed. Pure beads of blue. And their best friend with the pretty latin name of Stellaria media and not so beautiful common one of Chickweed. #botany

A happy vegetation scientist enjoying a plant community dominated by Viola kitaibeliana. It was a very dense, very species-poor one and very beautiful. #fieldwork #memories #violet
