Interpretation board at Gang Mine Derbyshire illustrating plants that can be found there

Bit tardy for @wildflowerhour.bsky.social but a glorious afternoon @derbyswildlife.bsky.social Gang Mine yesterday. Banks of wild thyme, Alpine pansies which seem to last forever, spring sandwort, the promise of a cinnabar moth caterpillar, and coquettish eyebright

The temporary exhibition at Lady Lever gallery is excellent....crepuscular birds, appropriately lit...a touch of the surreal and who, other than Jim Moir, would think of combining a wren with a heavyweight boxer, the French Angel Maurice Tillet?
No dove from above though!

Haven't booked it as am on an all day scythe at Gang Mine reserve, but if we finish early, I'll head over

Next trip will include a visit to Hogshaw

A "summer of love" for red soldier beetles, but other pollinators muscling in..
Eryngium is thriving in this drought and a popular place to hang out

"..wholly excessive, but somehow they pull it off..."
Never having seen a Swallowtail in the UK, I'm adding Hickling Broad, and the pub, to my list.
Thanks for another enticing read @amyjanebeer.bsky.social

What a treat! I felt so immersed and mesmerised. I would love to see it all again. Everything was excellent...Hamlet incredible. One of our friends is losing his sight so found the darkness tricky but still felt the atmosphere and appreciated it so much. Lucky to have seen it.

I felt his presence on the SW coast path at the weekend...a riot of wildflowers, azure sea and a great pub to finish...thanks for sharing these memories

We're going on Monday...it sounds like we're in for a spectacle in many ways

Shapes on the ground using balsam leaves, stalks, sticks, bracken

If you have a garden, or container space, think about some pollinator friendly flowers. Here is yellow rattle sown 3 years ago in the #NoMow great for bees and a #meadowmaker
