For #WildflowerHour from east Kent.
Our self-seeded Tansy put up new shoots in November and so is still flowering, but suffering after a couple of frosts.

Sad news today as the historic former railway bridge over the River Spey at Garmouth has partly collapsed into the river. It can no longer be crossed, which means that the Moray Coast Trail cannot now be completed in full.
Thanks to Rachael Millar for providing the photos.

The gorgeous Goat's-beard is my pick for botanical #adventcalendar Day 9 - also known as Jack-go-to-bed-at noon as the flowers open in the morning sun, but close at midday.
Widespread, but easily overlooked unless its flowers are open, it also has the best seed clock in botany! #wildflowerhour

Every so often I venture south of the border, and Day 11 of my botanical #adventcalendar is the amazing Large-flowered Butterwort - native to SW Ireland, but occasionally introduced in England, including this population in Edale
Like @bsbibotany.bsky.social, I couldn't stop grinning!

Early for #WildflowerHour, the white form of Red deadnettle, Lamium purpureum.
Only seen this once before, so surprised to find it at the end of our street.

I was trying to think of a favourite photo from this year, and this face-on shot of a Drinker came to mind. This moth piqued my interest because of its unusual appearance in comparison to other #moths I'd seen this year. It wasn't easy to photograph. It was incredibly lively. #teammoth

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed seven straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.
