Hello dear friends, just a quick reminder to join #PalacesAndGardens with the theme #BotanicalWonders tomorrow. Can't wait to see your art work! #photography #PhotographersOfBluesky #EastCoastKin

Invincible summer! #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #RedWed #EastCoastKin #Gardening #DahliaLove

📢 It's #inequality that undermines trust. If we're all living vastly different lives in terms of material wealth then it's going to be impossible to build any sort of collective identity. It's not about a 'missing link' - it's about crumbling foundations... www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Biggest beneficiary of donations from private health firms: Labour health secretary Wes Streeting. This is a scandal. Not only does evidence show that NHS prioritisation is more expensive and has worse outcomes for patients but UK voters have never given permission to privatise their NHS.

Wes Streeting!? That will knock another 10 points of Labour’s poll rating.

I'm sorry but they have literally lost the plot. This would be a plunge into the worst kind of authoritarianism to enforce their desires for the population to do as we're told.

Oh, I just saw Shantha’s @shlead.bsky.social post for for #TulipTuesday. and thought: Must get on and finish planting our new bulbs for the Spring. In these darkening days they mean hope of new life. Here’s one of ours from April. #dailyflowers 🌱 #flowerreport #bloomscrolling

There's always something new to see here, hence being here far too often. #photography #wales

Good morning ☕️ Don’t forget to look up! 🤩 A beautiful canopy of trees in the autumn sunshine 🌳🍃🍂 #TreeTuesday #Trees #TreeClub #ThickTrunkTuesday

🌱Calla got swole. “I SHALL NOT BE CONTAINED!” Yeah yeah buddy… let’s get you a bigger pot, eh?

I'm not sure if others have noticed this, but interesting that one of the Prescott criticisms of the BBC is based on those of the 'History Reclaimed' group, which is also associated with the 'Restore Trust' group's attacks on & so far unsuccessful attempts to take control of the National Trust. 1/3

Lovely! We have these fancy chrysanthemums that are super fun splash in autumn, when most flowers have faded and gone away

Primula vulgaris. Mine all got well and truly fried by a hot dry spring and summer, they are essential for colour through the darker months though. #Bloomscrolling #Flowers #TuesdayBlue #BlueTue #EastCoastKin 🌱

When there's a typhoon, swarms of dragonflies take to the air due to a change in atmospheric pressure. A cool sight to behold.😎 My Portfolio: portfolio.pixelfed.social/JoeGarrity #dragonflies #insects #naturephotography #nature #wildlifephotography #wildlife #macrophotography #macro #photography

Visited our rival garden centre yesterday. The only thing I’m envious of is their beautiful huge oak trees in their car park. Also their grounds are beautiful well planted and cared for. Kudos! Photo is a bit dark it was a dismal day. Happy #ThickTrunkTuesday.

Cephalophyllum diversiphyllum. I grew these from seeds that were sent to me from South Africa. #PlantSky #BloomScrolling #Succulents

If I had a national institution I wanted to undermine, Hanover Communications are who I’d go to. They’ve been undermining the NHS for years, successfully lobbying for firms to get NHS ££, including US giant United Health, & providing staff to pro-private politicians. It’s just what they do.

'Britain is, after all, a vassal state. But this episode makes that truer than ever: Washington is making executive decisions at Britain’s national broadcaster.' Why appeasing the right will destroy public service broadcasting (and we can assume Labour knows this). tribunemag.co.uk/2025/11/at-t...

Another thing I’ve dabbled with but not had any luck so far are air plants - tillandsia. This is my third attempt at keeping them alive. I now know about soaking rather than misting, so fingers crossed 🤞#GardensHour

The Bush Monster Survives The Freeze Worm Bin Tomato Vine Growing off season #GardensHour

#GardensHour hopefully the recently repotted haworthia, burrows tail succulent and prayer plant cutting will survive 🪴

Another of my favourite plants, a magnificent staghorn fern. #GardensHour 🌱

My newest plant... An unused Chayote squash that decided to vine on the counter. It's been growing like this for about a month 😅🌱 #gardenshour

The Prunus incisa 'Kojo-no-mai' has been a show this autumn. A few days after this photo was taken most of its leaves had fallen #GardensHour 🌱

This recent find is a houseplant I’ve been after for ages; the ‘Raven’ cultivar of Zamioculcas zamiifolia aka the ZZ plant. Each leaf starts off lime green, then turns purple-black #GardensHour

Dahlias and bees are struggling on outside. No houseplants because of fungus gnats. #GardensHour

Alocasia Dragons Scale #GardensHour

Everything is packaged away including a few larger #Houseplants #Gardenshour

Evening #GardensHour I’ve not done much outside lately but I have managed to keep a little succulent garden alive in the house 😁 Here’s a little tour of it

Ours is not a spa bath. But these houseplants do contribute an air of tranquility. 🌱 #GardensHour

Purchased from the 'reduced' shelf over the years, these have enjoyed a summer outside. Lovely to have them back indoors, feels like 'home' again #GardensHour

Mood. Damp. #MacroMonday #Bloomscrolling #GardensHour

I've been expanding my collection of ferns just recently, my bogey plant for quite a long time, hope I'm starting to get the hang of them now! 🌱 #GardensHour #Houseplants #PlantSky #Bloomscrolling
