Finally spotted some Autumn Lady's-tresses (Spiranthes spiralis) on my local patch in N. Wilts. Much later, smaller and scarcer than usual, presumably due to the drought. #WildflowerHour #orchid @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @ukorchids.bsky.social @europeanorchids.bsky.social

From @suffolk-nats1929.bsky.social meeting at Alder Carr Farm today, growing beside the River Gipping, here's Small Teasel, Dipsacus pilosus, as close as I could get without being in the river.

Seen today in #Ottawa: New England asters (Symphyotrichum novae-angliae). We have millions of these here in late summer and they come in two shades, as seen. One is pure purple and the other more pinky.

Not #WildflowerHour but today's BBC Radio 4 Food & Farming Awards nominee Fresh Flour Company in Devon is worth a huge shout-out..."fresh milling wholegrain flour on granite stones...heritage and population wheats into...[my fave] slow-dried pasta..."
