@ray_rambling @BSBIbotany @wildflower_hour We stumbled across over 50 on a regular walk to us, never seen there in 20 years.

Crimson clover from Wiltshire this week for #carrotsandpeas #wildflowerhour

From my woods this week, violets looking battered at the end of their season, bluebells in their prime and sparkly white fresh garlic just coming. #wildflowerhour #WoodlandPlants

@donnarainey4 I am loving how red the hawthorn trees are this year.

@DeniseHarper26 @BSBIbotany @nationaltrust @ChilternsNL So beautiful, lovely find

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

@StevePa46290725 @wildflower_hour I'd like to double like that one if poss 💜

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

I do love a harebell 😁. Welsh harebells from me this week, just blooming in sheep pasture in the Dyfi valley. #wildflowerhour #HarebellChallenge

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

Red campion blooming nicely in my woodland, we'd cleared the area of bramble to encourage the bluebells, so an added bonus #pinkfamily @wildflower_hour

A white selection from my woodland in Bathford. Wood anemone out out, a clump of white Spanish bluebells, 1 stem turned up 6 years ago! Garlic flowers just emerging. #wildflowerhour #woodlandplants

An observation test for you - (originally intended for 8 year-olds)

@JeanetteHall9 @mossgatherer_ I did see this, I kept missing butterflies on orchids today, marvellous shot.

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

Thinking this is a common spotted x frog, found on Morgans hill. Hundreds of common spotted up there, with splatterings of lesser butterfly, common twayblade and fragrant. Bring on an hour of orchids 😃

@Mark_A_Eaton @wildflower_hour @BSBIbotany Spiked star of Bethlehem not usually found up there, the deer have had most of mine in woodland near Bath.

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

@YerCut @wildflower_hour Yes I think you do. I have a small wood full of it, it's starting to go over now. Look out for a recipe for wild garlic capers, they are smashing little balls of flavour.

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

Three-cornered Garlic - Allium triquetrum, invading the paving cracks in a garden this week. I love it. #invasiveplants #wildflowerhour @wildflower_hour

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

@YerCut @wildflower_hour These were Wednesday in Wiltshire, visiting a friend's mum, so can't check again, but still unopened buds, what you planning with them?

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

Greater butterfly orchids are on their way in the south Cotswolds. #wildflowerhour @ukorchids @wildflower_hour

[Katie @KtSharpie73]

@Naturalcalendar Thank you, I've noticed differences but never knew the details.
