Mountain Avens, Moonwort, Scottish Primrose, purple oxytropis on a botanical tour of northern Scotland in perfect spring weather BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

Had a fantastic road trip to Caithness and Sutherland with 🍀dinesh patel 🦋 . We found Primula Scotica in excellent numbers at 2 different sites. Some of them are tiny and can be tricky to see until you get your eye in. The weather was perfect 👌#wildflowerhour BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

Gorse, mountain avens, spring squill and purple oxytropis - a kaleidoscope of colours in Northern Scotland #wildflowerhour

It’s 20 years since this moment of managerial genius from Man City boss Stuart Pearce. With his team needing a goal to qualify for Europe, he has a tactical epiphany: “Bollocks to this. We’ll stick Big David James up top and get it in the mixer...”

Greater Butterfly Orchids flowering early in South Cumbria. Common Spotted just coming into flower. Fly orchid hanging on and only a handful of flowers left on the Early Purple and Green-winged Orchids which have been frazzled in the hot dry weather. BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

A fantastic day in North east Scotland. Here are a few of the highlights. Twinflower , one flowered wintergreen and Oysterplant were our main targets BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

Twinflowers- a new plant for me and 🍀dinesh patel 🦋 . Very localised and not easy to find. A delightful plant. We even found a tetraflower and a Triflower amongst them

Some great orchids to finish our Scottish van trip

Oysterplant successfully tracked down on the Moray coast. Initially took some searching out until we stumbled across a shingle beach covered in mats of it. The blue grey leaves visible from a good distance away.
