My #FavouritePlant this year was the Harebells at South Gare on the River Tees Estuary in mid-July during the drought, because they were the sort of spectacular display of abundance and diversity that people go abroad for and we had it here in the Tees Valley #WildflowerHour

A contender for my favourite this year is wood sorrel ... There's something about the woodland setting where last autumn's leaves gently sheltered springtime's promise.
Thank you to #wildflowerhour for all the weekly challenges, and for keeping up the # during coming months 🙏🏻🌺🌼🌸

I didn't see Musk Thistle this year other than some very dead ones during the drought, but this one was within the last 12 months. Seen in Rome last autumn. They are fantastic flowers. #FavouritePlant #WildflowerHour

Wild carrot, Vervain, Lady’s bedstraw and Red clover. #WildflowerHour
