1/9 - This is one of the biggest contradictions I’ve seen. @The_RHS, THE MOST INFLUENTIAL #gardening charity in the UK, whilst promoting Plants For Pollinators, are still endorsing “WEED”KILLERS! 😡 “Inspiring everyone to grow” (except the wildflowers) Don’t believe me?👇🧵
2/9 - Whilst not actively selling this product on their own website, it’s available via @jennychem_. What sickens me more is the detail in which various weed killers are described to eradicate different “weed” species, INCLUDING my favourite #wildflower Bird’s-foot trefoil! 😡
3/9 - Take Bird’s foot trefoil for example. It’s a larval food plant of the Common Blue, Green Hairstreak & Dingy Skipper butterflies and also Six-spot burnet moth. It also provides nectar for many bees and other insects, along with ALL the other plants listed in the next tweet.

Starting in my own garden is a Neetle-Leaved Bellflower (Campanula trachelium). This is a native wildflower in England but maybe not to MK, I planted it because I liked it! Very hairy tube-shaped flowers makes this well adapted for bee pollination, and they seem to love it.

Happy 130th Birthday to us!

The TTFNC was founded on July 10th 1891 in order to: “...give pleasure to its members by observation of animal, insect and plant life in Trinidad”.

This thread will revisit some key milestones in our long history! 1/n #130yearsofTTFNC Image
In 1892, the first issue of our peer-reviewed journal was published as an outlet for our members to publish interesting and novel #NaturalHistory observations. It continues to this day as "Living World, the Journal of the TTFNC". ttfnc.org/livingworld/in… 2/n #130yearsofTTFNC Image
The first issue of our journal included J. E. Tanner's breakthrough discovery that #leafcutter #ants (locally known as #bachacs) cultivate fungus & feed it to their larvae, rather than eating the leaves directly as previously thought. 🐜🌿🍄3/n #130yearsofTTFNC ImageImage

C'est sûr que quand on tombe sur une #plante aussi magnifique et aussi rare que Ophrys speculum, on est vraiment émerveillé. Mais, magnifique ne veut pas dire forcément rare. Voici un petit aperçu en photos des autres #orchidées, plus communes, qu'on a vu ce jour la.
#ThreadPhoto
Toutes les photos ont été prises a Seyssinet-Pariset. On commence avec Orchis simia, qu'on avait déja vu en fleurs il y a une 10aine de jours.

Je viens de traiter quelques photos, je ne pouvais pas attendre pour vous montrer cette magnifique #orchidée !! Orchis speculum - Grenoble - France
Une espèce plutôt rare en France, et protégée car menacée.
@EuropeanOrchids #Orchids #wildflower #botany2021 #NaturePhotography
Cette #orchidée est spécifiquement pollinisée par une guèpe (Dasyscolia ciliata), qui est absente de France. La plante ne peut donc pas se reproduire, les populations sont donc très instables. Elles est notée en danger par @IUCN , et est protégée sur tout le territoire.
