@bsbibotany.bsky.socialIt's Sunday, it's 8pm so it must be #WildFlowerHour!

Got a mystery plant?

@jo-the-botanist.bsky.socialStill a bit too soon to be sure, but I'd put 50 pence on those ones being common gorse Ulex europaeus. If you find others, tag them #WildflowerID and we'll be pleased to help with idents. 🌱🌿
@bsbibotany.bsky.socialKeen to support the next generation of botanists?
Identiplant, our online #WildFlowerID course, is the gateway for many beginners.
We'd like to offer more student spaces we but need more tutors to support them: could you be one?

@jnnyharris.bsky.socialUntil this week I thought all gorse was Gorse. Not so! This, adorning a Cornish cliff top, must be Western Gorse (Ulex gallii)? #wildflowerID #wildflowerhour @bsbibotany.bsky.social
@edmondslyn.bsky.socialHelp with #WildflowerID would be appreciated - I understand that there is a Black Nightshade, Solanum nigrum subsp. schultesii that is more densely hairy than subsp. nigrum - these stem hairs look very dense and not appressed to my untrained eye - have I misunderstood?

@petersketch.bsky.socialA slightly unfair #WildflowerID request - can anyone give me any suggestions about this rather spectacular but very dead grass plant?
@bsbibotany.bsky.socialWe couldn't agree more with @lizzie-harper.bsky.social: botanising with your local group is great fun!
It's also a brilliant way to pick up #WildFlowerID tips from friendly fellow plant-lovers in your area.

@bsbibotany.bsky.socialExcellent point by @amandatuke.bsky.social!
The Carrot family contains edibles such as parsley and coriander but also similar-looking, poisonous plants such as Hemlock (which did for Socrates) & also Oenanthe spp. (water-dropworts).
You need #WildFlowerID skills if you want to forage and stay safe!
