Some Water Mint is still flowering, and one Hedge Woundwort plant had emerged in flower #WildFlowerHour I didn't think that any more Hedge Woundwort would be flowering now

Common Knapweed #WildFlowerHour
One of the few remaining Common Knapweed flowers; so few wildflowers remain, as many plants weren't able to grow over the heatwaves during the summer

Flax, sunlight and wind #WildFlowerHour
One blue flax flower from the edge of a small field, perhaps seeded from an earlier year; a day of sunlight and wind, few wildflowers to find, and September continues to pass

Wood Speedwell are now out of season, but Herb Robert would usually still be flowering around now. I could only find one this week #WildFlowerHour

Herb Robert and Wood Speedwell are some of my favourite plants that I've seen so far this year! #FavouritePlant #WildFlowerHour I saw these during May, before the heatwaves.

I'm guessing it's fairly common, as I was able to see it! Some plants were more compact, others taller, which was slightly confusing. It's finishing flowering, it seems.

Thanks! It must have started flowering and passed rather quickly and I couldn't even find any this week. I wonder how many flowers that I might be not seeing...!

And some of these plants have been valiantly flowering over the last while, despite the heat. I kept forgetting to try to identity them. Are these perhaps some kind of Hawkweed? #WildflowerID #WildFlowerHour

A new plant, remarkably! I think this might be Common Stalk's-Bill? #WildflowerID #WildFlowerHour We have had a little rain, although it remains to be seen whether more plants will be flowering

Common Fleabane is one of the few plants still in flower during the continuing heatwaves, and there was a Common Blue butterfly! #WildFlowerHour Assuming this posts, as bsky is giving errors; hopefully everyone's enduring...

St John's-Wort was still flowering in some places, although it's already finished flowering or hasn't even flowered in other places due to the heatwave #WildFlowerHour
I think this was Perforate St John's-Wort in flower

It might be some kind of Skullcap, perhaps Common Skullcap; people checking #WildflowerID may be able to help!

Oh, I see! Thanks! So I've been finding Lesser Skullcap, where some has more blue colouring than the usual pink. I see the blue flowers and toothed leaves on the plant you found, impressive, I haven't seen any that large!

Last week I found Lesser Skullcap, and I wonder whether this might be Common Skullcap? #WildflowerID I found it this week in the same general area as the Lesser Skullcap. The leaves don't look very toothed, but perhaps I didn't look at the lower leaves.
