Glass daffodils and lotus flowers at the Royal Pavillion, Brighton. Drawn to plants everywhere! #GardensHour

Althaea cannabina has this delicate flower on tall airy stems. Another discovery at Wakehurst Place yesterday. #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

More powerful colour at Wakehurst Place on a dull day yesterday. #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

Impactful Michaelmas Daisies at Wakehurst Place. #GardensHour #Gardening 🌱

Acorn Weevil treating itself to the luscious petals of dahlia 'Nicholas'. #Gardening #Dahlia #Bugs 🌱

Glowing plants lighting up a dull day here in South Berkshire (UK). #Sixonsaturday #Gardening 🌱

If you haven't chosen your bulbs can I recommend the narcissus 'Baby Boomer'. Long flowering season, multi headed and fragrant. #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

I am a bulb-aholic! I get totally absorbed in the researching, the planning, the ordering, the reviewing of the planning, the planting, the anticipation, and the blooming delight! #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

Good morning! More than a touch of Autumn outside. Some of the dahlias look like they felt the cold last night. #Gardening 🌱

Turning the glut of tomatoes in to soup. A surprise as usually they have succumbed to blight long before this! #Gardening 🌱

Lovely day. Having a coffee outside and a few moments to enjoy my garden in the sunshine. #Gardening 🌱

Deep-brown Dart. I wondered about Black Rustic but it was definitely brown not black. Capes are in fashion this season, something like this would be very dramatic! #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

The Chestnut is new to our garden. Hope to see more. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Acer and dahlia 'Pooh'. A serendipitous combination. #Gardening 🌱

A new one for me a Lunar Underwing. Pretty smartly turned out. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

More pots from Wolfson College. Lovely against the brickwork. #Gardening 🌱 #Cambridge

Lovely pots at Wolfson College, Cambridge today. Great colours for the autumn. #Gardening 🌱 #Cambridge

What a fox ! Thank you to @urbanponds101 for today's #FoxOfTheDay

Sedum is looking lovely, with the dark heuchera and the glossy bergenia. #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

Colouring up! #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

Our whole landscaping project was to sort out our excess water problem. Now we have a double sized soakaway, a pond, a rill, a bog area, and a pump taking excess round the house to the front garden. Just need an extra water butt and we'll be sorted! #Gardenshour #gardening 🌱

Our democracy is too precious to be a plaything for foreign tech barons. Elon Musk doesn’t care about the British people or our rights. He only cares about himself and his ego.

'Nicholas' finally makes it into bloom. Big, and hungry. Needs coaxing along. #Gardening #Dahlias 🌱

Autumn rolling in. Bees quietly foraging. #Sixonsaturday #Gardening 🌱

Summer hanging on. My very pale, almost white, sedum looking lovely with a final flush of alyssum. #Sixonsaturday #Gardening 🌱

'Maniac' - this large headed dahlia takes its time to come into bloom, but wow! #Dahlias #Gardening

Portsmouth from the Submarine museum in Gosport today. A bit like the Grand Harbour in Malta. In the past the same Royal Navy ships could have been seen in both places.

The BBC are constantly fawning over Farage's every move despite Reform only having four MPs. Our national broadcaster should reflect the whole country, not just one man’s ego.

Autumn leaves are coming down. The first birch leaf on the rim of the bubbling water bowl. #Gardenshour #Gardening #Autumn

I look forward to my Heptacodium tree blooming in September. Lovely scent. Attracts lots of bees. #Gardenshour #Gardening 🌱

Due to predictive text's preference for 'underwear' to 'underwear', Large Yellow Underwings are now known as 'Banana Bloomers' in this household. The hindwing does suggest voluminous silk pantaloons! #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Oak Longhorn (micro), as mentioned in despatches yesterday. This one showing its 'longhorn' antennae. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Amongst the LYUs was this micro - Oak Longhorn. It is hiding its long antennae. Also caught a Hemlock moth. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

A Large Yellow Underwing catching autumn light looks splendidly golden. Every time I go to type LYU predictive text suggests large yellow underwear 😁! #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Canary Shouldered Thorn, bit muted in colour, but the face is so fierce looking. Great antennae. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

A selection of today's blooms. Plus a tiny spider on the white anemone and a bee on the heather. #sixonsaturday #Gardening 🌱

Relaxed! Charlie cat at full stretch. #Cats

Wonder if this is a second generation Willow Beauty? I think I see a slight autumnal golden tint in the sunlight. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Amongst the assorted yellow underwings was this Yellow Ophion ichneumonid wasp. It parasitizes Heart & Dart caterpillars. Nature red in tooth, claw, and ovipositor. #Teammoth #Mothmatters

Primula vialii is a new plant for me this year. Good value as it has been launching these pink rockets all summer. #Gardenshour #Sixweeksofcolour

Invasive New Zealand flatworms? Spotted these in the novelty of damp conditions. I've checked and they don't match to native flatworms. So I will have to destroy as it is illegal to release them. #gardening #Flatworms

What could be more yellow and orange than these heleniums? They are loving the heat and the sun (unlike me!). #Gardenshour #Sixweeksofcolour #gardening🌱

A sharp-tailed bee in sandy soiled, south Berkshire. What type seems to be a tricky thing to determine. Without photographed anatomical details it won't be accepted as a UK record. So enjoy it as it is. #Bee #Bees #gardening

Garden buzzing with pollinators zzzzz. Claire Austin rose has finally bloomed. Supposed to tolerate shade but perhaps shade on light sandy soul is a bit of a struggle. Has had much pampering to get to this over two years. #Sixonsaturday #Gardening

Least Carpet - tiny rug perhaps?! So small and delicate but still a macro moth. #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

What is red? #Sixweeksofcolour #Gardenshour #Gardening

I have been reaching for The Micro Book. Nearly missed this Dark-bordered Pearl. Apparently its range is expanding. Well it has arrived in this bit of VC22, very close to both VC12 and VC17 #Teammoth #Mothsmatter

Tawny-Barred Angle, probably from our Scots Pines. Lovely close up. #teammoth #mothsmatter

Poplar Hawk in a dark study. #teammoth #Mothsmatter

Faded Plain Wave? #teammoth #Mothsmatter
