Peter Sketch<p>Here&#39;s a plant for which the <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Sepals" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Sepals</span></a> are a useful ID feature - Bulbous Buttercup in which the sepals fold back along the stem rather than clinging to the petals as in several other common buttercup species. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>WildflowerHour</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Swindon" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Swindon</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Bloomscrolling</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>botany</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>plants</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>flowers</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>wildflowers</span></a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>photography</span></a></p>
Roger Robinson<p>A comparison of the petals &amp; <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/Sepals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sepals</span></a> of two tiny white flowers seen in abundance today alongside at old track at Streatley (W. Berks) - little mouse-ear (cerastium semidecandrum) and common chickweed (stellaria media). <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/wildflowerhour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildflowerhour</span></a></p>
Roger Robinson<p>Front and rear views of a flower of common stork's-bill (erodium cicutarium) showing the green stripes and bristly tips of its <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/Sepals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sepals</span></a>, from a walk at Streatley (W.Berks), 30/3. <a href="https://mstdn.party/tags/wildflowerhour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wildflowerhour</span></a></p>

Kathy Chandler 🌻<p><a href="https://c.im/tags/Sepals" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Sepals</span></a> are usually green and protect the developing flower buds, but when sepals and petals are indistinguishable from each other, they are called tepals. Some plants, like the Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) don't have petals at all. The flowers are made entirely from sepals.<br><a href="https://c.im/tags/WildFlowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildFlowerHour</span></a></p>
