hi, do your followers do caterpillars too? We saw this specimen on a walk in NE Hampshire on Sunday, looks like it's trying to blend into lichen but found crawling quickly on the path.

Any good with caterpillars? Took this earlier today & think it's a moth, possibly an underwing?

I combed my new garden this afternoon & think I found 3 types of #speedwell growing. Sharing for #wildflowerhour
Ivy leaf speedwell, germander speedwell, possibly thyme leaved speedwell but not sure about others or even if they are Veronicas. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

On holiday this week. I found Common scurvy grass, Cochlearia angelica, Cuckoo Flower, Cardamin pratensis.
Excitingly for me also Moschatel Town hall clock and Miners lettuce both new to me. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

I have moved recently & my new garden has a small clump of Spanish bluebells. I'm probably about 1/4 mile from the nearest native bluebells. Do I need to remove the Spanish ones?
Native bluebell for interest.

A bit late for #woodlandplants for @wildflowerhour.bsky.social but I spotted this today on a hazel tree. A bit of research & I think it might be the big bud mite which causes buds to enlarge & reduces cropping.

This month's book group read. On page 73, enjoying so far.
Finished The Glass Maker by @tracychevalier.bsky.social yesterday which I loved.

Saw this interesting rosette today on my daily dog walk. On the edge of an disused runway in NE Hampshire. Any suggestions? It's not something I recognise as usual in that area.

Currently reading this it is our reading group book for this month. Really enjoying it even though I'd never heard of it. Definitely recommend.

I've gifted this to many people. It's a delightful book & such an eye opener of how life was in the 30's

If you see this, post something green. 💚🩵

Book group read for discussion in December. Good so far......

I saw Queen 1986 Wembly, The Magic Tour. Still got the ticket.
