Common Wintercress growing in the wildflower area of a car park in #Bristol last week. There are quite a lot of #CabbageFamily species with lots of yellow flowers, many of which will grow as weeds in urban areas given the chance. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
Garlic Mustard for the #CabbageFamily challenge in this week's #WildflowerHour. This one at Henley Hawks RFC on Saturday, taken while waiting for the game to start. #Henley is in the far corner of #Oxfordshire near the point where it meets both Buckinghamshire and Berkshire. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
For this weekโ€™s #CabbageFamily challenge in #WildflowerHour some rucola I noticed by the foot of a tree in my neighbourhood.
This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is #CabbageFamily. Find any wild member of the brassica family, if you can.

Find a flower with 4 free petals arranged in a cross shape & youโ€™ve found a member of the Brassicaceae! Itโ€™s a huge family & the challenge this week for #Wildflowerhour is to find a wild or naturalised member of the #CabbageFamily in flower. Share your finds this Sunday 8-9pm!

We were asked for #CabbageFamily photos for #WildflowerHour so of course on Friday I went to my favourite local building site in #Bristol to get a picture of the Hoary Mustard that grows just inside their security fence. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
Pretty Garlic Mustard flowers with a Brassica Shieldbug on one of its leaves, aptly demonstrating that it is in the #CabbageFamily ๐Ÿ˜€
