🌼Meet the #WeedoftheWeek: Yellow Clematis!
These fluffy-seeded climbers are no joke. Learn how to spot them with our identification tip—narrow, serrated leaves are the giveaway! Hold off on pulling until summer to control the spread. Let's protect our #NativePlants!🌱🌿

#WeedoftheWeek is Black knapweed
🌿One of the UK’s top 5 native nectar & pollen producers.
🌿The flowers are hugely popular with many kinds of pollinating insects
🌿Tough stems provide support for other wildflowers and the seeds are food for many small birds
This week's #WeedoftheWeek is Burdock!
🌿Burdock produces thistle-like purple flowers popular with pollinators
🌿The seeds heads are surrounded by hooked bracts (modified leaves). These hook onto clothing or animal fur for dispersal, and were the inspiration behind Velcro!
Wild Carrot is #WeedoftheWeek!
🌿This native wildflower is a member of the parsley family.
🌿Great for insects - the umbel acts as a wide landing platform!
🌿Often, only the very central flowers of the umbel will be purple/red and will produce the majority of the nectar
#Weedoftheweek... The humble Liverwort!
A common weed of nurseries, liverworts are not your typical weed... producing spores rather than seeds and lacking a vascular system.
Amazingly the earliest evidence for these plants is ~470 MYA years ago (compared to 40MYA for grasses!)
Birds Foot Trefoil is our #WeedoftheWeek!
An (inedible) member of the pea family, this yellow legume is an important food plant for the common blue, silver-studded blue and wood white butterflies, as well as an excellent source of nectar for bumblebees and many other butterflies
Bird's foot trefoil: a lovely wildflower for growing in pots and hanging baskets, attracts heaps of bees, and provides foodplant for common blue butterflies and burnet moths...
Cotton Thistle is our #WeedoftheWeek
This huge biennial can reach 3m in height & is great for pollinators.
Despite being edible & used in cheesemaking, its name is ancient Greek for "donkey fart thorny food" - not so delicious!
St John's Wort is our #WeedoftheWeek
This plant has bright yellow flowers and unusual leaves that are scattered with translucent resin glands - these look like holes in the light. A great supporter of species of jewel beetle and plant hopper... and lots of myth around its name!
This weeks' #WeedoftheWeek is Fox & Cubs
This 'weed' is so-called as their black hairy buds are clustered around an orange open flower much like a fox and her cubs. These #flowers are very attractive to #pollinators, due to their UV-reflectance - bees do not see well in red!

Ragwort is our #WeedoftheWeek
The national flower of the Isle of Man is in the top 10 for UK nectar producers, supporting 10 rare & threatened species. This incudes the cinnabar moth caterpillar which absorbs toxins from the plant for it's own defence! #weeds #wildflowers
Our #WeedoftheWeek is the daisy!
There are approx. 20000 species of daisy worldwide, on every continent but Antarctica. It grows in urban areas, meaning it is an essential pollen & nectar source. Each flower is made up of tiny florets which are arranged in the Fibonacci sequence
#Buttercups are the #WeedoftheWeek!
The genus Ranunculus has over 1700 species, all of which are a great #foodsource for pollinators, fungi, & birds such as pheasants & partridges! Some have up to 22000 seeds per plant & some reproduce using deep roots and runners.
Stinging Nettles #WeedoftheWeek
A great #foodsource, supporting over 40 insects, and throughout the #trophiclevels, the nettle's often misunderstood. Important for your garden wildlife incl. hedgehogs and amphibians
It's defence mechanisms are advanced: https://t.co/63CmxSEeDc
#WorldBeeDay @SussexUni Countdown #2!
The red-tailed bumblebee (B. lapidarius) emerges in March and lives in a variety of habitats. All castes have a red tail, with the males also having a yellow face. One of their favourite #flowers is our #WeedoftheWeek, the dandelion!
Dandelions #WeedoftheWeek!
Believed in #AncientGreece to cure any illness, they have great #ecologicalimportance, feeding many & having a <10ft tap root which brings up nutrients for shorter rooted plants.
Their seeds, pappus, fly using a bubble of air! https://t.co/XlmsAfrrHr
#WeedOfTheWeek Hydrilla verticillata is a submerged aquatic plant that is well established across the US. Stop its spread by always cleaning your shoes and gear between fishing trips - even a small fragment can reproduce and eventually clog a whole water body. #PlayCleanGo
It's time for another #WeedOfTheWeek. Cogongrass is a highly invasive species of grass. Considered "the seventh worst weed in the world," this plant has infested 1.25 million acres of land in the southeastern United States!
