#FavouritePlant

Some delicate looking lilac-coloured wild #Cyclamen popped up at the bottom of the garden yesterday. It looks like it's a spring flower, but is actually an autumn/winter one, flowering from late August to December in the UK #WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant #BloomScrolling #Flowers #Autumn

My #FavouritePlant of all the wildflowers I've spotted this year has to be this wild marsh orchid I saw earlier in the summer 🌱 #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling

#WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant I can't leave out beautiful Butterfly orchids! I always get mixed up between greater and lesser, but I love their name even though to me they look like angels! #Cumbria in June. @wildflowerhour.bsky.social @bsbibotany.bsky.social

I'm a bit late this week, but my #FavouritePlant has to be Vipers bugloss. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling

The Bog Star: Grass-of-Parnassus, Parnassia palustris #WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant

My favourite wildflowers change throughout the seasons 😊. So I have many 😉. This is Blue Eyed Grass from my holiday in Kerry. #WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant

Probably no surprise that my #favouriteplant is the glorious Marsh Gentian. I love everything about them & this year they provided some extra magic. Watching as the sun set, it was incredible to see the gorgeous blue flowers close for the night, something I'd not observed before. 😍 #wildflowerhour

For the #wildflowerhour #favouriteplant challenge 2026, I'm probably going to choose this lovely patch of Coralroot #Orchids (Corallorhiza trifida) from the dunes of South Cumbria. They were absolutely magnificent 🥰

Possibly my #FavouritePlant this year, Yellow Centaury, Cicendia filiformis #WildflowerHour

#WildflowerHour #FavouritePlant Possibly my favourite flower of 2026 are these variants of Water Avens. I found several in woods at Pickering, N. Yorkshire. @whitbynats.bsky.social @northyorkmoors.org.uk

I hadn’t seen it for a couple of years so it was extra special in early June to catch up with my #FavouritePlant! The gorgeous Mertensia maritima, commonly named Oysterplant, as the leaves taste like the fruits of the sea! Caithness #Wildflowerhour

It’s hard to choose a #FavouritePlant of the year, but I was excited to find what turned out to be Mousetail, Myosurus minimus, flowering under shrubs at Ely Leisure Village, a new one for me. #WildflowerHour
