Beautiful Green Hellebore, Helleborus viridis, in woodland on the edge of Croydon. 💚 It is a member of the Ranunculaceae, the Buttercup family. What look like green petals are in fact sepals, and the petals themselves are reduced to small tubular nectaries (visible in third photo). #WildflowerHour

Tree of the week: an old oak on a Gloucestershire lane.
Endless rain and grey skies, not much wildlife about, but possibly the best time of year to admire old trees in the landscape?

A first for me: rock sea-spurrey. Small flowers, about a centimetre across. Decorating a slipway on Tresco, Isles of Scilly. #wildflowerhour #scilly

A buff tip moth, hoping to pass as a birch twig. Not unusual to find in our Gloucestershire moth trap but always lovely to see #mothmonday #teammoth

My first sighting of a large emerald moth. Beautifully marked, scalloped-edge wings, about 5cm across. Definite highlight of summer moth-trapping in Gloucestershire.

Yellow rattle and white clover aplenty, for #wildflowerhour. This #Cotswolds wildflower meadow is fairly new - it was sheep-grazed short grass until a couple of years ago.
