@OmendenFarm Lovely to see! We are Jersey now where we see them often.

@thenewgalaxy @BSBIbotany @smurfett722 Seems early (Spiranthes do not appear on our lawn in Jersey until mid August- no sign yet); nevertheless signs of Autumn are all about with Scilla autumnalis in full flower already

@Jamiewa50042387 Welcome to Bonnie Scotland

@Matt_J_ecology The Alpine Catchfly (Silene suecica) on Little Kilrannoch was also at its best yesterday.

@Roger_TL45Y @thorogoodchris1 Perhaps!

A great day out on Saturday in Glencoe with @BBSbryology NW Scotland group. Among many new plants for me was this elegant Dicranodontium uncinatum.

At last! My article from 2023 on the use of plant ID apps for urban flora studies has finally appeared.@BSBIbotany https://t.co/dOPjLjmOQW

A great day out with NE Scotland Bryophyte group at Muir of Dinnet NNR - learning to recognise the rare Nyholmiella gymnostomum & N. obtusifolium. Made all the better by finding a new group of Buxbaumia @BBSbryology

@Jamiewa50042387 And a Happy New Year to you - it was great meeting you in Glencoe

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

@OmendenFarm @silcocksfarm Happy Christmas to you

@BSBIbotany @botanyone Studies last year (in press, Pl Eco & Diversity) have largely confirmed the improvement in id apps reported by Razanny et al. since our 2020 study. However recent tests in Australia showed signif. less success with the diverse flora there incl. high local endemism

Blown away by a few days in Kangaroo Island (S Australia) last week, where in a couple of (semi-)random roadside stops saw four endemics to KI including these beauties -KI Woolly-bush and KI Spyridium @BSBIbotany @BotSocScot

Amazing displays of Daviesia mimosoides in regenerating snowgum woodland - 22 y after devastating fires in Namadgi park, Canberra

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

A wonderful day for the NE Scotland bryology group's first meet of the season at the Rocks of Solitude - let us hope we can choose such nice days for the rest of the season! @BBSbryology

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

@AverisBen @BBSbryology No C. rostrata here and little C.acutiflorus

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

A successful hunt for the gorgeous Tomentypnum nitens in the Moorfoot hills last week - but why could I only find it in the previously recorded 20 m2 patch where previously known, among acres of similar ground??@BBSbryology

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

@sacrevert @BBSbryology Thanks for this

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

If any of you (especially, but not only, professional ecologists) have a spare 30mins 😏, the group at Bangor Uni would greatly appreciate help completing a survey investigating the practicalities of habitat condition assessment for Biodiversity Net Gain. See QR code attached

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

Part-way through my annual count of Spiranthes spiralis (Autumn ladies tresses) on our Jersey lawn (1824 so far on c.20% of the area!). They only occur on areas well-mown all year- so "no-mow May" definitely not suitable for them @BSBIbotany

[Lyn Jones @visualflora]

@TrisNorton @1DavidElston Thanks for the great day counting the stunning Saxifraga hirculus (new to me), with the added bonus of also finding two mosses new to me (Sphagnum riparium and Calliergon giganteum)
