Water avens and wood avens regularly hybridise when they occur together in damp woods or where the two parent species are found resulting in Hybrid Avens @BSBIbotany@wildflower_hour#wildflowerhour @ForthNatureScot
19/5/22 - Highlight of my evening walk; Lady's Slipper #Orchids (Cypripedium calceolus) looking resplendent in the spring sunshine. A steep climb but well worth it! Some nice butterflies on the wing too #wildflowerhour
It's still #INNSweek…can you tell a Spanish Bluebell from a native one? Native bluebells have a classic shepherd's crook shape to the stem, whilst the Spanish Bluebell grows its flowers in spikes. The two species readily mix, the resulting hybrids outcompete natives!
