A candidate for my #FavouritePlant in the UK this year would be Pasque Flower, seen at two sites in the Chilterns and in the North Downs (the former a part of a reintroduction programme, the latter I suspect planted) - the fruits are almost as impressive as the flowers! #WildflowerHour

Fantastic photos! This is the UK plant I’d most like to see, very jealous.

Cattle grazing is quite extensive this year so not looking at its best but still plenty of interest.

It’s a really good year for it at Staines Moor too, such a great plant
