So the #LawnFlowers challenge. Growing in the cracks in the paving in the front yard counts if that's all you've got, right? Common Ragwort looking spectacular outside my front door yesterday. #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

One of my favourite #LawnFlowers which grows in lots of road verges in and around Swindon - Common Storksbill. This one was at Chieveley motorway services this afternoon, in damp, grey weather which really doesn't do justice to how pretty a flower it is. #WildflowerHour #Berkshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A Spear Thistle for #LawnFlowers for #WildflowerHour. Growing on a grass verge at Chieveley motorway services this afternoon. Also one of its #PollinatorPals - a rather spectacular #hoverfly. #Berkshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography #invertebrates

Taller than the average #Lawnflowers and only able to grow because it isn't mown often, a St John's Wort (not sure what species) in a verge at Chieveley motorway services today. Plus a bonus hoverfly. #WildflowerHour #Berkshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

I know you've all seen this before, but the #WildflowerHour challenge is #LawnFlowers so any excuse to re-share this picture of a dandelion from Bradford on Avon in 2023.
What?
