Back on #WildflowerHour after a couple of weeks of struggling to get my laptop to talk to my account. All sorted now. Some snaps from my visit to #Pembrokeshire during the week. Stonecrop, Spring Squill, Navelwort and an intriguing plant which turned out to be just another Navelwort, but a #fasciated individual growing in a strange shape. All these were at Wooltack Point and Martin's Haven on Friday. #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

One #dandelion plant, almost all flower stems were #fasciated, mostly two heads per stem but one three head.
Do I get a prize?
No?
Not even cake? 🤷‍♂️😔

A couple of #fasciated #dandelions along the #EastLinkRoad in #Dundonald this morning.
The first appeared to be separate #flowers but the stems were completely #fused.
I tend to see #fasciation close to #roads so would the #mutation be caused by #vehicle #exhaust gases? 🤔
