My fav winter botanising is seeking strange snowdrops. Ergo, a thread on variation in wild Galanthus nivalis.. First up standard nivalis: Your basic snowdrop of woods, waysides& riverbanks. No intro required, other than to say it’s v variable in size & vigour #wildflowerhour 1/10
G. nivalis fm pleniflorus a common double form; it has multiple inner& often outer tepals in varying lengths& neatness. Its only partially fertile - able to provide a reduced amount of pollen, but not seed; consequently it always grows with standard nivalis where naturalised 2/10
In certain parts of northern England nivalis pops throw out 3 distinct forms at c.1 in 10000 plants - deep recessive genes. The best known is var sandersii, the Yellow Snowdrops of Northumberland. Similar plants (perhaps even more colourful) are found in the Low Countries 3/10
Mission accomplished!
I’ve finally found all 240 wildflowers in my Collins Gem guide. The project has taken me many years and to many places, from seashores to mountain tops, and I've absolutely loved it! 🧵

Since 2006, I've been recording the date and location of each new species I found flowering in the wild. After making gradual progress for years, I decided in January to find all the remaining 112 by the end of this year.
The goal of finding all 112 in a single flowering season meant I had to do a lot of research on when and where I could see each one. Then I started making special trips to find the species not growing locally. I went on foot, by coach, train, bus and even boat!

Hawkweed or Hawkbit,
(definitely) Harebell growing through a former sea bed of limestone,
and something familiar I’ve not seen before #wildflowerID - growing along a quarry face as a peregrine begged its parent to share some food.

Heathery hills and a felltop tarn. Heather is a Lost Word.
Ling and Bell Heather here I think...it’ll all look even better quite soon. No harmful burning here.
Orchid in the peaty bog and an unusually flowery fellside for the Lakes...

Orchids galore yesterday on the hill land owned by Comrie community. Several different species, though I struggle to identify them.
Will post some close ups later.
Here is what I think is probably lesser butterfly orchid. Confirmation appreciated. #wildflowerid
