Thrift and Pignut - two of my favourite wildflowers. Still mining memories of cliff paths in Cornwall. Here is the path and the view as you come round into Looe. A lovely walk.

Citizen science is a fantastic way to explore your local environment while contributing to valuable scientific research. From monitoring wildlife & trees to recording environmental data, there are numerous ways for people of all ages to get involved in conservation projects. buff.ly/ZKD97a2
Listen to the slow-motion buzz of this Red-tailed bumblebee enjoying a dandelion buffet 🌼🐝
Many plants considered as “weeds” are great sources of food for bumblebees. By letting these plants grow this #NoMoMay – and, if you can, beyond – you’ll be making a big difference for bumblebees ❤️

This first one is from a trip back in 2019 to the Azores with a close friend. We went for the marine life but were really wowed by the plants.
This is one of my favourite spring things - when plants emerge from the soil with such force they punch straight through the leaves lying above them. An old photo from March 2021 in Glasgow. #PhotoDeclutter
Was horrified to discover I had over 15,000 photos on my phone 😅 most of these are of plants, which as much as I love them, really aren’t necessary so in a bid to digitally declutter I’m going to start posting old photos here so they can bring other people some joy and then I can delete them!
