5. Apetalous catchfly

Like little paper lanterns under the northern lights. This flower is found as far north as Greenland and Svalbard.

Darn! Missed #wildflowerhour last night! But here's my #Winter10 from last week - better late than never. Names in alt-text. All from @rspb.bsky.social's Dungeness reserve, except for the Butcher's-broom which is from a local hedgerow. @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #KentNature

Posted especially for Mike’s mom. This photo was taken on July 8, 2023, in Trinity County, Northern California of a Cardinal Catchfly flower and flower buds. I was exploring near Pine Root Saddle and noticed an open area with flowers. #wildflowers #photography #nature #NorthernCalifornia

Small-flowering Catchfly, my star find today, unfortunately I found it as it was getting dark (thus grainy photos). Fallow arable field near Polperro today. #wildflowerhour

Silene gallica var. gallica

in my obsidian notes i also have a list of plant/flower theme art i'd like to do at some point for all the major characters (flower meanings taken from an 1865 book called "The Miniature Language Of Flowers") but god knows if and when i'll get around to it. possibly work-into-backgrounds kinda stuff

I've been feeling sad & vexed today (as every day) by how much a gov't of self-serving wankspangled Tory dick-limpets have destroyed our NHS services.

But to avoid melting my brain too much, let's look at a pretty plant that can survive pretty far up in Svalbard.

Ok. That's better. Onwards. 🌿💖

It's peak May delight in the garden. Catchflies and Campions really providing the goods. Sticky Catchfly, Italian Catchfly and Sea Campion.

Thank you all so much for coming! Playing Hades with you all was super fun, and we're so happy you liked the model! 😊

Wildlife garden always looks a bit too pink with the dominant campion. Going to add some mullein and have night scented catchfly coming on in seed trays. Willow Fedge coming on nicely though, should be an effective screen next yr #Gardenwild #GardeningTwitter #nomowmay

Night-Flowering Catchfly. As you can imagine by its name, this flower opens up in the evening! It is an introduced species to the area and is considered a nuisance to crop farming. #wildflowers #bloomscrolling

Catchfly prairie gentian (Eustoma exaltatum) blooming along the Colorado River today. #ArizonaNative #NativePlant

I remember when I used to wish that hummingbirds would visit my yard more. Native plants did the trick. Especially royal catchfly (pictured below) and cardinal flower.

A commission for @robocryptid.bsky.social of Siuan from Wheel of Time! I know nothing about this series but she seems good!

Flower meanings:
🌿 silverweed (green leaves): simplicity
💮 white catchfly (white): betrayal
🌺 protea (pink & yellow): courage, resilience
🌸 rose acacia (pink): secret love
