Spent the weekend at the National Softball League tournament at Farnham Park near #Slough. Horribly hot and not fun weather for playing softball (or in my case fetching home run balls out of hedges and a bit of base coaching when our players started to wilt). The three teams with Swindon players had rather mixed results. A decent array of wildflowers on show around the edges: Ladies' Bedstraw in this case. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

#PollinatorPals foxglove landing pad shaped to let plump bees crawl inside. Once the bee enters, plant hairs act as footholds while pollen is deposited on the bee's back. A perfect example of co-evolution for #wildflowerhour

A rather dashing wasp on a Wild Carrot flower on Friday in #Bristol. #WildflowerHour #PollinatorPals #Bristol #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A Wild Carrot flower with two rather fine wasps, possibly Ichneumonid types although they're famously very hard to identify. Also, if you look closely, there's a very well camouflaged spider lurking. All three are mainly there to prey on the other #PollinatorPals. #WildflowerHour #Bristol #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

It's that time of year - the Fox And Cubs plants that have taken over my driveway have started to flower. One of my absolute favourites, this. #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A hover fly, in this case I think Migrant Hover Fly, being one of the many #PollinatorPals for the Common Ragwort that grows between cracks in the paving in my front yard. #WildflowerHour #Swindon #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
