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

This Late Spider Orchid definitely deserves a place among my #favouriteplant of 2026. I captured this beauty during the fabulous #OrchidOfKent tour with @mariposanature.bsky.social earlier this year. What a memorable encounter! 💚

A couple of petals of Purple loosestrife hanging on in there and Marsh marigolds in flower at Anglesey Abbey this afternoon. #WildflowerHour

Devil's-bit scabious at Thursley yesterday and soapwort and sea aster at Pennington today. #WildflowerHour

The signs of autumn are emerging, this common snowberry noticed in the hedgerow, a new favourite as I have never before seen the beautiful little pink flowers.

I absolutely love that nature is always surprising and is just truly, truly wonderful.

Close-up of a truly enormous clump of (I think) Russian Vine growing at Sammy's Point at Spurn this morning. Beautiful flowers but an invasive weed which we don't want in the wild in the UK. #WildflowerHour

#FavouritePlant Bee orchid at Lakeside Country Park in May. One of my favourite plants generally and finding this one was one of my plant moments of the year, coming on my last after work walk before a week off where I was hoping to see one. A magical moment. #WildflowerHour

It may not be rare or unusual, but this spiny restharrow is such a delicate little beauty, and a #FavouritePlant from my #WildFlowerHour year

My pick for #FavouritePlant is rue-leaved saxifrage. It’s been scarce this year, likely due to the unusually wet autumn and winter. Spotted on the old pavement at The Holies, Streatley (W. Berks), 28/3/2026. #wildflowerhour

Primula farinosa L, Birdseye Primrose, at Ashberry. A simple case of total adoration from the emergence in April of tiny, tight rosettes clothed in farina, to that day at the very end of May, for the sheer joy of witnessing its spread ... a very good year

#WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment Not sure whether this is Crane's Bill or Herb Robert but noticed many smaller bees/hoverflies seem to depend on them this time of year.

Ragwort flowering in Ely this week. #WildflowerHour

Spotting my first bee, butterfly and musk orchids was a highlight of my wild flower year #WildFlowerHour #FavouritePlant

#WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment Willowherb seems to enjoy this time of year.

#WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment Not a 'wildflower', as yet, but the grapes on the grapevines a favourite with the blackbirds, and Speckled Wood butterflies.

For #Wildflowerhour #favouriteplant a bee orchid this is var belgarium (and was found near Winchester, belgarium being the Roman name for Winchester), so a local variety!

From a field of Lucerne behind my house this week, Yellow Star-thistle, Centaurea solstitialis #WildflowerHour
