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

Went to the local park this morning looking for flowers with their #PollinatorPals - this is Hemp Agrimony with a rather large hoverfly. Not sure what species of hoverfly, but it's definitely pollinating the flowers. #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

This place is buzzing!

I couldn't get any #PollinatorPals on wildflowers today but I did see this bee on a garden flower (iNaturalist tells me it's probably a kind of blunthorn bee, which is new to me. I'm looking forward to learning about it) and a lovely Herb Robert growing round the corner for #WildflowerHour today.

This week's #WildflowerHour challenge is always my favourite - #PollinatorPals is the hashtag and the challenge is simply to get a picture of an insect pollinating a flower (usually, but not always, while collecting nectar or pollen).

This week’s challenge is #PollinatorPals! Find a flowering wild or naturalised plant with a pollinating visitor & snap away. Of course it’s not just about bees! Butterflies, moths, wasps, flies & beetles can all be #pollinators too! Share your pics for #Wildflowerhour this Sunday 8-9pm!

Highlight of my #WildflowerHour week was in my own front yard. The Fox and Cubs look spectacular and this one had the added bonus of one of its #PollinatorPals, a hoverfly. I think it's Migrant Hoverfly. #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
