#wildflowerhour been all over place this week.

From dunes inspired by a poet’s sandy shoes @pollyrowena
Vipers Bugloss, Bladder or Sea? Campion, #wildflowerID , Wild Pansy

To castles breached by wildflowers
And (always) a mountain or two. 1/3

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...

(3/3)

I’m not getting tangled up in #arableweeds aggro with any angry (or happy!) botanists.
Have a look, suit yourself.
I had a lovely time on the roadside (M6, junction 38).

Red clover + six-spot burnet moth (near & far)
Orchid
BIG ? #wildflowerID ImageImageImageImage
More roadside/traveller’s joy
Knapweed queuing for the phone on A6, the verge itself and ringlets plus motorway junction cranesbill on M6 ImageImageImageImage
Swaledale meadows - just ahead of the crinkle cut (over the wall)...between Muker and Ivelet.
All sorts - woods cranesbill, eyebright, unbowed-as-yet melancholy thistles, harebell, yellow rattle gone to seed...

#wildflowerhour from dripping mountaintops this week...

Alpine lady’s mantle among the thyme
Yellow mountain saxifrage
Goldenrod

And elderflower along the river with juniper...Cocktail hour?

...then enjoyed a ‘Purple Patch’ along the Tees too...

Betony, Scabious (soon), Wild Pansy, Orchids

@wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany @LeifBersweden ImageImageImageImage
...and a white one for #wildflowerID , nipplewort (I think)... then confidence regained with definitely honeysuckle & bramble (one of #thelostwords ) now in bloom.

PS Conker caskets now growing spikes too...

So, how was your day 14 @30DaysWild ? Flowers & all that.
Mine was epic @cumbriawildlife

Bugs photo-bombing us all day.
Maybe a new theme for #wildflowerhour ?

Beetle in a hawkbit?, Argus on a plantain? Flies in cranesbill. Watter in ladies mantle.

Orchid in bondage next. ImageImageImageImage
Rescued this orchid from its tormentor.
(Cheered up this melancholy thistle too)
Speedwell & cranesbill
Avens & buttercup.
Orchids up next...

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
