Lousewort #StillFlowering on the Bodmin Moor today for #wildflowerhour in fact it flowers in the spring and again late summer usually. Drier areas. It can photosynthesize, but prefers to steal nutrients from nearby plants.

Pedicularis sylvatica

The best thing about native wildflower meadows, they are resilient & flower through periods of drought! #wildflowerhour

In dry years, Wymeswold churchyard sprouts harebells. There is something other worldly about their delicate frames. #wildflowerhour

Introducing Bramble, my new nature-hunting partner 🐾🌼 She’s too young to walk on public ground, so this week she travelled in her puppy sling while we searched and sniffed for wildflowers. #StillFlowering . We found bindweed, feverfew, knapweed, ragwort and hawkweed.
