A wonderful #WildFlowerHour as summer draws to an end, nights get cooler & tomorrow is the Equinox. Wonder what will still be in flower next week? Let's meet up next Sunday to compare notes! @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Plenty of tiny, beautiful, Eyebright flowers in the wild quarries on Portland. Not sure of species - my Wildflower ID book quickly made me realise these were going to be tricky, and that feeling was compounded by one of the Eyebright having the scientific name of Euphrasia confusa!! #wildflowerhour

Clustered Bellflower, now in a range of colours #wildflowerhour

Last Shropshire Botanical Society field trip of 2025 on Catherton Common in the sun. Well attended, some fine plants recorded in the mires, we ended with the tiny and unassuming Chaffweed (Lysimachia minima) by the roadside at one of its rather few sites in the county. #wildflowerhour
