Earlier on the expedition we found the most beautiful flower, and here, my friends, is the biggest: Rafflesia arnoldi seen in full bloom today in the Sumatran jungle. This is the largest flower on earth and one of the greatest wonders of the natural world.

Plenty of deadly nightshade Atropa belladonna on Grimston Warren in Norfolk yesterday. What fantastic heathland.

I doubt this bristly Greater Burdock Arctium lappa really qualifies as a #hairyplants but it was great to find it on our Norfolk Flora Group survey this week #wildflowerhour

Love the axillary racemes on these germander and wood speedwells! (You can tell I’ve been using the crib sheet). Found yesterday in the woods of Sennowe Park with the Norfolk Flora Group.

1st March #NorfolkFloraGroup - 15 perennial hardy botanists turning out & an absolutely whopping 750+ records made by 3 groups across 5 monads. Not bad for the time of year but also reflects calibre of botanists (here is my group admiring the lunchtime view). @ians4ad.bsky.social @stu32.bsky.social
