A long hike up a Scottish mountain with a special reward at the summit, Diapensia lapponica!
Finally feeling better after having a horrible cold. So took myself off to Dawlish Warren in the sunshine to see romulea columnae, Sand crocus, and what a beauty it is! I also bumped into @naturelark.bsky.social, was so lovely to meet you.
Anyone in Dorset/Hampshire have a good spot to find Cicendia filiformis?
For #Wildflowerhour #OrchidChallenge this week, here is a photo of Ophrys sphegodes found earlier this month in Wiltshire, last seen in the county in 1989!
Been a incredibly busy week doing botanical surveys all around the country, here are a few highlights. 1. Diapensia lapponica, 2. Convallaria majalis, 3. Logfia minima, 4. veronica spicata, 5. Allium sphaerocephalon
