A Suburban Meadow

Passionate about wild flower meadows and hardy orchids.
A Cinnabar moth caterpillar on some Ragwort. They really are devouring the leaves at a fast pace. Lovely to see.

Couldn’t resist posting this little beauty. In an area of garden left as a meadow patch for #NoMowMay & #LetItBloomJune.

Is this a Southern Marsh orchid? Dorset, near a ditch and about 15-20 cm tall.

Plenty of Pyramidal orchids on the verges in Dorset this week. Don’t seem too impacted by lack of earlier rain.

Pleased to see the first Cornflower in my garden meadow patch. It hasn’t been easy to get started but it’s another flower for #pollinators. #NoMowMay #LetItBloomJune #MakeAMetreMatter

Some fantastic #wildflowers growing in a #meadow area of a #garden for #NoMowMay. Ox-eye daisies, buttercup, kidney vetch, birds-foot trefoil, clover and wild carrot. @lgspace.bsky.social @plantlifeuk.bsky.social

Here’s to #NoMowMay in Dorset. A patch of lawn in its 5th year as a wildflower area in a garden, teeming with wildlife.
