Some still closed and some blooming bladder campion (Silene vulgaris; Taubenkropf-Leimkraut) showing its delicate white petals. In the blurred background, the rough, furrowed bark of an elder tree a small natural stone wall and some green grass.

Part of my morning ritual is to fix incorrect IDs on iNaturalist for the one species on the planet I'm really, really familiar with, Silene latifolia (my PhD focus). It gives me a quick buzz of competence that lasts several minutes, plus reminds me of good times in graduate school. #silene #dioecy #botany #classification #plants #flowers #inaturalist #caryophyllaceae #WhiteCampion #BladderCampion #BrownUniversity
