Also on one of Middlesbrough's road verges a few Northern Marsh-orchids, this one surrounded by a constellation of Lesser Stitchwort flowers #WildflowerHour

Since starting #NoMowMay, and a patch of #NoMowSummer, the tiny Thyme-leaved Speedwell (Veronica serpyllifolia) has become a regular among my #LawnFlowers. But until today I’d not looked close enough to spot the glinting tiara of glandular hairs on the fruits

Highlight of my week was urban plant hunting around Conwy with the wonderful @nicwilson.bsky.social. I set ourselves a challenge: to find a species not recorded in the town before. And voilá! Nic spotted Cape-jewels growing in a crack beside some steps. Always something new to find. #wildflowerhour
