A Bittercress for #WildflowerHour. But is it Hairy Bittercress or Wavy Bittercress? I have no idea. I needed help to even work out what plant family this was in; identifying a bittercress with no seed pods visible is way beyond my skill level. Nice to see it in flower, though. Another roadside plant from #Purton #Wiltshire. #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography

My first Common Field Speedwell of the year. On a sunny, steep-sloping bank by the road in #Purton #Wiltshire today. #WildflowerHour

It's Sunday evening so I guess it's #WildflowerHour. I went to some woods near #Purton #Wiltshire to look for wildflowers and found none. But the road verge in Purton itself was more cooperative. This one's Common Whitlowgrass. #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #plantscience #photography
