Chicory and a cabbage white butterfly. Not uncommon anywhere, but a startling reminder of beauty and life when seen in the grungiest part of NYC.

a purple chicory flower with a cabbage white butterfly on it. Not pictured: the heaps of stinking trash and crap nearby.

The foxgloves in this rewilded corner of the Lake District are growing much more profusely than I remember (maybe it's just this year?) They're lining every path and wall, and poking up through the bracken as far as the eye can see. Also surprised to find a
white one! #flowerreport #naturewriting
Close up of a pink foxglove in the foreground with lots more behind it, against a dark cloudy sky Lots of pink foxgloves poking out amid the bracken Close up inside the petals of a pink foxglove showing the markings A white foxglove .. not seen one of these in the wild before

A fallow field full of long pinkish grasses with green trees at the far side and a very blue sky The same file with all the grass own into stripes by a tractor, ready to store as silage The same mown field by moonlight

Up in this rewilded corner of the Lake District we're still just a little bit too early forthe harebells to beout. I found only one - but amazingly did find some old watercolor studies that must have been done ~40 years ago by my grandmother. #flowerreport #naturewriting

Home, visiting the cool green wet north of England. Dad has been rewilding this 100-acre corner of the Lake District for 30 years. Found some old purple friends by the side of the track - red clover, everywhere, plus self-heal, flowering thyme and common spotted orchid #flowerreport #naturewriting
Red clover flowers close up against green dewey grass Short purple self-heal flowers in a grassy verge with some white clover A mossy rock with purple flowering English thyme growing on it A close up of a pink common spotted orchid - though they don't seem so common when you see them

If you see this post something orange
Sunset over the Hudson river in NYC: in the foreground are black silhouetted trees, on the far side of the river are buildings in shadow on the NJ shoreline. The sky between has orange clouds and contrail streaks and the orange is reflected in the water.
