Mountain lake and upland bogs made for a cool walk yesterday. Lots of beautiful wildflowers in full bloom including; Round-leaved sundew, Water lobelia, Bog asphodel & Sneezewort. Not all of them #hairyplants but downy, frilly anthers and specialist, sticky hairs can be seen #wildflowerhour

Alpine flowers are in the absolute prime in the Swiss Alps this week. Mega diversity, pollinators having a feast

A few of the alpine flowers peaking in the Swiss Alps this week. All of which I've recently seen in the Scottish Highlands too. Yellow oxytropis, Alpine bartsia, small-white orchid & Alpine mouse-ear #wildflowerhour #wildflowers

An alpine botany trip at home in the UK. The Scottish Highlands are home to the finest collections of arctic-alpine plants in the UK. I was joined by a brilliant young botanist, @mattrjones.bsky.social a real inspiration to explore the mountains with. We recorded many of the rarest montane species.

My trip to the Highlands began on Ben Nevis looking for awesome alpines. I found Tufted saxifrage, arctic mouse-ear & Sibbaldia in flower. All incredibly special #wildflowers @bsbibotany.bsky.social @bsbiscotland.bsky.social

I revisited a site where I stumbled upon Marsh clubmoss many years ago in Snowdonia. This nationally endangered plant is still doing well at this site @plantlifeuk.bsky.social @cofnod.org.uk @bsbibotany.bsky.social

It's not everyday you come face to face with a carnivorous plant! Lesser bladderwort is less well known than other carnivorous plants like sundews & butterworts. They rely on digesting insects for nutrition but use suction traps (bladders) to capture their prey! @bsbibotany.bsky.social #wildflowers

Back in Cwm Idwal today and headed up to see if Lloydia was in flower. Saw quite a few but only this one accessible. Also came across a lovely Moss campion in flower, Mountain sorrel & Starry saxifrage #wildflowerhour @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social

A whole mix of species and habitats obeserved today in Cwm Idwal. Frst time seeing Holly fern here and just one small individual seen. Awlwort already flowered, Butterwort in its prime as too for Starry saxifrage #wildflowerhour @cofnod.org.uk @bsbicymru.bsky.social @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Spectacular Mountain avens in Snowdonia today. The site is steep & precarious on approach but absolutley incredible. There is limited presence of other arctic-alpines but so worth the long walk in #wildflowerhour #wildflowers @bsbicymru.bsky.social @cofnod.org.uk @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

A trait of arctic-alpine plants is their longevity. Without the ability to live a long life & reproduce without sex would certainly mean many of these species die out from UK a long time ago. Moss campion, Tufted saxifrage & Roseroot @cofnod.org.uk @bsbicymru.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

7 May & arctic-alpine species are in flower! These are v early flowering times. Some years Snowdon lily won't flower until early June. The 2 flowers have been flowering (not each year) at this spot for the 25 years I've observed them. @cofnod.org.uk @bsbicymru.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social
