Coffee cooling beside a patchwork of wildflowers, while the countryside quietly gets on with summer. ☕🌼🌿

A mullein species growing in the car park at the motorway services, among the slate fragments that are supposed to keep the weeds down. I think it's Dark Mullein due to the purple anthers. Open to correction on that! #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

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 spectacular showing of Hemlock on a road verge yesterday. Very tall for an umbellifer - the tallest plants were taller than me. #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

Four very common #LawnFlowers - Creeping Buttercup, Dandelion (with lots of pollen beetles), Dove's-Foot Cranesbill, Daisy. All at Chieveley motorway services today. #WildflowerHour #Berkshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography
