Sorry, late as usual, a few from this week around Salisbury. It’s so heartening to see new buds popping up!
Winter heliotrope, Petasites pyrenaicus, Hazel, Corylus avellana, Snowdrop, Galanthus nivalis and Common Fumitory, Fumaria officinalis.
It’s the poorest in society who are suffering while the billionaires get richer. Sickening.

Only a few this week from S Wilts & Hampshire, got distracted by our new kitten and a white tailed eagle at Blashford Lakes.
Common Centaury, Hedgerow Cranesbill, Petty Spurge & Field Forget-me-not. Apologies for late posting.

Red Admiral on buddleia, Common Blue on Knapweed & Honey Bee on Hawkbit (autumn?) and a bonus Yellow Birds Nest from Salisbury Plain Wiltshire. Non-firing day I’m glad to say!
@wildflowerhour.bsky.social #wildflowerhour #harebellchallenge Quite a few at Figsbury Ring near Salisbury Wiltshire, a Neolithic and Iron Age hilltop site that I nearly got blown off this afternoon, hence the limited image!

Anglesey Aberffraw absolutely shedloads of beautiful Marsh helleborines together with a Round-leaved Wintergreen and some Northern (?) Marsh Orchids.
