#favouriteplant of the year for @wildflowerhour. Gosh. We had a few. It was a great botany year. So many lovely plants and some firsts for us. And for some locations. We found narrow leaved helleborine near Oban. A first for the location. #wildflowerhour

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social I have gone with the fruit and otherwise of the oak tree this week. Galls galore. Not exactly fruits but definitely autumnal. @bsbibotany.bsky.social #wildflowerhour #fruits
Knopper gall, oak apple,
Artichoke gall and of course an acorn.

Ah. The joys of a bus. It could well have been my pal Dougie last week. He was trying out the bus bike option with a wee night in the youth hostel. Setting of from home in Dundee.

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social the first time I saw broad leaves helleborines was just a couple of years ago. They are amazing. So many different colours to be found. #wildflowerhour #HelleborineChallenge

Went to Teesdale this week and found some amazing plants. @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #wildflowerhour
The Teesdale Assemblage didn’t disappoint despite missing the spring gentians. Hoary whitlow grass, hoary rock rose, mountain avens and shrubby cinquefoil.

#wildflowerhour #peafamily. I love the pea family. Peas are my favourite vegetable. But the flowers are also stunning. Bitter vetch (I think) with its colour shifting is a favourite.

@wildflowerhour.bsky.social for this week’s #orchidchallenge for #wildflowerhour we found our first fragrant orchids of the year and lots of Heath spotted and an northern marsh. But the stars of the show were narrow leaved helleborine in a never before recorded site. Oban and Mull.

Random botanising near Oban and we came across our first ever narrow leaved helleborine. And then the next day we saw more in Mull. Nationally rare. Beautiful. #wildflowerhour #orchidsofbritain @ukorchids.bsky.social
