Common sorrel in flower 🌺 🌾🌿 One of the more attractive weeds I think #Flowers #NaturePhotography

Great Willowherb putting on a colourful display. This can grow to be fairly tall, making the bright pink flowers really stand out against the green foliage. Have a wonderful week everyone 🩷🌿 #Willowherb #PinkFlowers #Wildflowers #FlowerPhotography

Good morning all ☕️ Ragwort putting on a colourful display. At this time of year it is swarmed with so many insects particularly cinnabar caterpillars, butterflies and bees. Hope you all have a great Sunday! 🌿☀️💛🌿☀️🍃🌼🌿 #SundayYellow #NaturePhotography

Good morning ☕️ Teasel seed heads with their distinctive lavender coloured florets. Have a wonderful start to the weekend everyone 🌾🩷🌿 @wildflowerhour.bsky.social #Teasel #NaturePhotography

Like most thistles, the creeping thistle produces lots of fluffy, wind-borne seeds, waiting to take flight. I think the seeds are just as attractive as its lilac/pink coloured florets! 🌿🩷🌿💜🌿 #Thistle #CreepingThistle @wildflowerhour.bsky.social

Further to my posts this morning, I believe this is hollyhock mallow, slightly different to musk mallow which is more common I think 🍃🌸🍃 #FlowersOnFriday #Wildflowers #PinkFlowers #HollyhockMallow

The prickly thorns on this creeping thistle certainly didn’t seem to bother this determined little bumblebee, it was fun watching it dart around and I was pleased to get a few photos before it eventually flew off! Happy Thursday everyone 🐝💜🤗🌿 #InsectThursday #Bees @bumblebeetrust.bsky.social

There are currently lots of cinnabar moth caterpillars, seen here this afternoon feeding on ragwort, which is their primary food source. Their bright black and yellow stripes is a warning to birds of their toxicity. 💛🐛🌿 #InsectThursday #Caterpillars #Wildflowers #Ragwort
