Good night from the #Suffolk #Brecks! 🥱😴💤

New growth of Hemlock, Conium maculatum, flowering in the #Suffolk #Brecks today. #WildflowerHour

Star survivor in the #Suffolk #Brecks today has to be the masses of Small Nightshade, Solanum triflorum, living up to its name with occasional sets of three flowers but lots of berries. Enjoys irrigation, some rain, and low enough to avoid agricultural activities. #WildflowerHour

Black and Green Nightshade still flowering in irrigated fields in the #Suffolk #Brecks today. #WildflowerHour

Most Henbane, Hyoscymus niger, gone to seed but just one tiny flower today in the #Suffolk #Brecks.

A lone Harebell, Campanula rotundifolia, in a pine wood today.

A #Solanum quartet in #Suffolk #Brecks fields today no doubt encourage by cooler damper weather:
Green & Black,
Small & Potato…
…the last in abundance in a stubble field.
Solanum nitidibaccatum, nigrum, triflorum & tuberosum.

Musk Mallow, Malva moschata, refreshed by a rain shower next to the B1112 underpass beneath the A11 #Suffolk #Brecks

For your enjoyment, more of the beautiful Brown Trout in the River Nar #WestAcre. I was lying centimetres from it, could have reached out and touched it, but it wasn't budging, even while I needed to talk to the BBC film crew on the bank. #Rivers #fish #norfolk #brecks #breckland #Chalkstreams

My real #FavouritePlant has to be Henbane, Hyoscyamus niger, particularly these, more out of the way on the #Suffolk #Brecks, in sunshine with leaves like wings of a dark angel, appropriately. #WildflowerHour

Surviving the hot summer to produce flowers and fruit at the same time. Small Nightshade living up to its scientific name Solanum triflorum with flowers and fruits in threes. Almost my #FavouritePlant but becoming common in #Suffolk #Brecks fields. #WildflowerHour

On Lucerne plant going to seed what looked like a round mass of spider web from above when turned over appeared to contain a mass of blueish eggs. Just over 1cm across.
Any ideas please? Today at Icklingham in the #Suffolk #Brecks. @britishspiders.bsky.social

Other floral highlights of The King's Forest newly opened rides were of course Viper's-Bugloss (Echium vulgare) plus swathes of Common Eyebright (Euphrasia nemorosa) & Red Bartsia (Odontites vulgaris), some still in #flower. Also Hairy Rockcress (Arabis hirsuta). #Wildflowerhour #suffolk #brecks

#Suffolk #Brecks still dry at weekend. Many flowers now at #seedhead stage: Blue Fleabane (Erigeron acris), Carline Thistle (Carlina vulgaris) & Hare's-foot Clover (Trifolium arvense). Small Scabious (Scabiosa columbaria) #flowers stealing show along newly opened King's Forest rides. #wildflowerhour

Small fruits of Green Nightshade, Solanum nitidibaccatum, in the #Suffolk #Brecks. #WildflowerHour #Fruits

Small Nightshade, Solanum triflorum, as the scientific names suggests, has flowers in threes, so with luck after a lot of searching you can find a group of three fruits. #Suffolk #Brecks. #WildflowerHour #Fruits
