On our second day of #NewYearPlantHunt at Kem Mill on #CuerdenValleyPark we added gorse (pictured) groundsel, dandelion and primrose to our list. Hazel and alder catkins in abundance, more annual meadow grass and willow. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

It’s beginning to look a lot like… New Year!
More wildflowers are beginning to stir, and I spotted these today for the last #WildflowerHour of 2025: groundsel, primroses, speedwell, hazel catkins, periwinkle, blackthorn, hogweed, sweet violet, cyclamen and snowdrop. #TheWinter10

I think I can be sure of adding snowdrop to my New Year Plant Hunt list in three more days. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Starter Packs are one of my favourite features of @bsky.app. I’ve curated 20+ climate-themed packs on everything from health to comedy (all linked on my profile). But this one is special: my very first pack, the colleagues I personally turn to for insight + perspective, most of whom I know IRL.
