A bit late for #wildflowerhour but a long-awaited trip to Bryher for the miniscule Dwarf Pansy (Viola kitaibeliana) was very successful, with hundreds of plants found rubbing shoulders with other tiny gems such as Small Adder's-tongue and Spring Vetch. @bsbibotany.bsky.social

@bsbibotany.bsky.social First snowdrop of the winter for the #NewYearPlantHunt this morning.

The 2026 #NewYearPlantHunt is now underway and the first records are already pinging in! Take a look at the Results map: nyph.bsbi.org/results.php There are going to be a lot more markers pinging in as the day goes on, each one showing where a plant or list of plants has been recorded. Let's go!

I gave in... here's a collection of some of the amazing flowers I've seen this year... Mostly orchids, and I'm not naming them, you have to work it out 😉 #WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant Looking forward to finding them all again, and more, in 2026 🍻 @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social
