Cheating a bit for #WildflowerHour - slim pickings this week, so rather than showing a yet another humble yarrow, I opted for these lovely (post-flower) rowan berries after a night’s rain @bsbibotany.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

This cloud cover is definitely not in the forecast for Kent - and we are expecting another massive night of aurora borealis - which the Southeast missed last night due to clouds! 💔

For #WildflowerHour this week, one I’m pretty sure about (left, Sphagneticola trilobata, Bay Biscayne creeping-oxeye), and one I’d appreciate help on (right) - some sort of willowherb / Epilobium? Both from estuary Kent. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

Due to intense academic stress, I’m about a week and a half late forcing my Christmas paper-white narcissus bulbs this year. Banishing these guys to the dark garage and hoping for the best – otherwise they will be New Year’s blooms!
