Peter SketchMy overall favourite find of the week, I think. Greater Celandine in <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/London" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#London</a> yesterday. Specifically, by a gate-post leading to a car park at London Welsh RFC. Who says I never post Welsh content on the Welsh Mastodon?? <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WildflowerHour</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#botany</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#plants</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#flowers</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#wildflowers</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#photography</a>

Peter SketchThe best of my finds from <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Bristol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bristol</a> during the week, Cornsalad growing in a bare road verge near Temple Meads. No, I can't tell you exactly which exact species of Cornsalad it is. I'll try to remember to go back and have a look when it's got seeds. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WildflowerHour</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#botany</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#plants</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#flowers</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#wildflowers</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#photography</a>

Peter SketchSome <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WoodlandPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WoodlandPlants</a> for <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WildflowerHour</a>, two from <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Bristol" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bristol</a> and two from <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Richmond" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Richmond</a> yesterday on a rugby-watching trip. Wood Forgetmenot (probably descended from a garden cultivar), Red Campion, Honesty and Green Alkanet. <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/Bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/plants" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#plants</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/flowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#flowers</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/wildflowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#wildflowers</a> <a href="https://toot.wales/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#photography</a>

𝔸𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕊𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕤 🔉And in the local wood, Wood Anemones. 2 from an old-established clump of about 30. There was a solitary one about 100 yards away, which is a good sign. Perhaps it will spread - they spread incredibly slowly.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildflowerHour</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WoodlandPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WoodlandPlants</a>

SpacewaysA daisy from yesterday's walk. There was a good patch of them and a few had orange/red in the middle of the flower head. I don't think I've seen this before. Any ideas?

This one is a paler brown with paler H-motif, and isn't so hairy, looking a bit more like a teddy bear than a spider!Although nationally rare, they're extremely abundant in Purbeck, must be tens of thousands of them.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildflowerHour</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/wildorchids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildorchids</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a>

𝔸𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕊𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕤 🔉2/3 This was the first Early Spider-orchid of the year, with petals and sepals still rather curly, not yet straightened out.<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildflowerHour</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/wildorchids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildorchids</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a>

𝔸𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕖𝕟𝕥 𝕊𝕠𝕦𝕟𝕕𝕤 🔉It's that time of year when our local Early Spider-orchids (one of the first orchid species of the year) start to come out. These are on the Purbeck coast near Dancing Ledge. The sepals and petals unfold, like this (picture)1/3<a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/WildflowerHour" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WildflowerHour</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/wildorchids" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#wildorchids</a> <a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/bloomscrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bloomscrolling</a>

Image JenIt was so much easier to find flowers for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/YearOfDaisy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#YearOfDaisy</a> in April than it was in January and February!
