The parched flora of Pennington sea wall - between shrinking saltwater lagoons and the sea. Every teasel seemed to have bumblebee interest. Lots of wild carrot in every stage of development & ragwort #Stillflowering. #WildflowerHour
I am very pleased to announce that my bug colour wheel has been accepted into this year’s Royal Academy summer exhibition. This is my sixth time. Have a look it opens on the 16th of June.

Love a #Newforest bog on a drizzly Sunday afternoon. Heath milkwort, bogbean & marsh lousewort (there’s a story plant) in a bog outside Lyndhurst #WildflowerHour@BSBIbotany
Western Skunk Cabbage is non-native but naturalised on the Beaulieu River 🌿 Its spadix heats via thermogenesis, melts snow & attracts early insects. Plants that literally generate heat! #wildflowerhour@wildflower_hour#storyplants
