My phone was so excited about taking a photo of Spiked Speedwell in full flower halfway up a limestone cliff-face ... it pixelated* #WildflowerHour
Anyway, as you can see, it was stunning blue colour
*I guess this is digital version of blurring, nice to see a return to form from me

#WildflowerHour #WildflowerAllotment Not really a wildflower rather a lettuce plant left to flower and go to seed, but still valuable source of pollen and nectar this time of year for insects

Some delicate looking lilac-coloured wild #Cyclamen popped up at the bottom of the garden yesterday. It looks like it's a spring flower, but is actually an autumn/winter one, flowering from late August to December in the UK #WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Autumn

Leicester Cathedral churchyard today. Red Valerian, Buddleia (there were a few insects visiting the flowers), Traveller's Joy (couldn't get any closer because of a fence) and Canadian Fleabane growing at the base of a purple information board.
