Tim HI've a soft spot for wild violas. The Common Dog Violet (Viola riviniana) growing in my friend's lawn. Unfortunately, as the sun kept hiding behind clouds, and it was windy, most of the pics I took were out of focus. Still, I was happy with these #wildflowerhour #dogviolets #violets #kent #england

Nicola CrockfordWhat kept me going on up thro the silty lengths of Hoffer Brook was that exciting strands of River Water-Crowfoot (Ranunculus fluitans), queen of #chalkstream #macrophytes, began appearing despite silt. Suggested things were better further up this River Cam tributary. #rivers #wildflowerhour 16/23
More promising was a sprig of Common Mare's Tail (Hippuris vulgaris) emerging from the silt, as well as the more common emergent plants of East Anglia's rivers: Water Mint (Mentha aquatica), Brooklime (Veronica beccabunga) & Water Forget-Me-Not (Myosotis scorpioides) #Wildflowerhour #flower 13/23
Then from the sweet spot where the Brook Lampreys had their redd, upstream, the glorious tassels of Chalk-stream Water-Crowfoot (Ranunculus pseudofluitans). Not sure if both these crowfoot species were introduced as part of river restoration work by eg @[email protected]? #wildflowerhour #rivers 18/23
A good sign about the health of Hoffer Brook is that even in the silt that dominates the stream for most of the 1 km up from the A10, there are gorgeous banks of Blunt-fruited? Water-Starwort (Callitriche ?obtusangula), glistening like it should in the cleaner upstream reaches. #WildflowerHour 14/23
