Bryony

It says in the alt text, but it is a variety of winter flowering clematis called Freckles

A few sparks of colour are still to be found #wildflowerhour

Poppies in October - wow. Amazing, and beautiful, but as you say, less than ideal

Thank you 😊

Well that is a relief, I was a bit worried it would exhaust itself over autumn and wouldn't come back in the spring.
I shall take cuttings 😊

My hydrangea appears to be sprouting new shoots... in autumn (in the UK). Anyone else had experience of this? 🌱

Her husband gets a mention before any of her achievements too.

There's a lot of fungi out in the forest right now. I’ve no idea what any of them are, but they are fascinating to look at #fungi #newforest

It is very much a personal choice. If you get a chance, read or listen to 'Why can't I just enjoy things' by Pierre Novellie. Genuinely funny book about his autism, which includes some thoughtful perspectives on why you should or shouldn't get a diagnosis.

It looks very healthy there though. Maybe deliberately plant a couple next year?

Well, I'd be very pleased it it turns out to be a sign or message of that nature 😊

That is a very good suggestion. I shall 😊

Red Bartsia

Eyebright

Fushia

Sneezewort

A visit to Ireland delivered far more wildflowers than my scorched patch at home, Red Bartsia, Eyebright, wild Fushias and Sneezewort were some of my favouites as they are unusal for me to find #wildflowerhour #flowers

Forgot the 🌱

Flame Lily, with red, orange and yellow petals flung out in all directions

An outrageously flamboyant Flame lily from the Botanical gardens in Belfast - I'd recommend visiting, beautiful and free

Simple elegant pale yellow sunflower, with a backdrop of hydrangea flowers

My volunteer (no idea where it came from) sunflower blossomed 🌻🌱

Small fleabane for #wildflowerhour

Thank you - that's really interesting to know

White Bryony with curly tendrils and colourful berries (do not eat!)

Tansy with a tiny moth

My name sake, White Bryony, and my sisters name sake Tansy, with and unknown and very tiny #pollinatorpals for #wildflowerhour

Gosh, that's dramatically fluffy!

The kids excitedly found this in the garden this evening. I think it is the catepillar of a elephant hawk moth. Cute, almost anime style eyes. Now safely back on a fushia 🐛🌱

Bathsheba rose flower. Pale yellow centre, fading to white in the outer petals. Densely ruffled petals, almost in a heart shape - much like the love I have for it.

Gorgeous and luxurious - the Bathsheba rose. A beauty to behold and an honour to own. 🌱

Ripe blackberries in mid July.

They're ripe.🌱 #wildflowerhour

A whole year of excitement waiting to see what will appear - it's almost worth moving house for!

This year seems to be particularly bad for them in the New Forest. Irksome creatures, but quite useful for microscope practice with the kids.

Uk. No idea what zone we are in I'm afraid!
