The Caledonian Canal at Bowling - masses of Himalayan Balsam (Impatiens glandulifera). Pretty as it may be ... this is an aggressive invasive species and often out-competes native plants ☹️ @bsbibotany.bsky.social @naturescot.bsky.social #wildflowerhour #botany #nature #scotland #invasivespecies

If only Bluesky had smell-o-vision, then you could all experience the delicious scent of warm honey comining from the flowers of this Sea Kale, Crambe maritima, in the glorious sunshine at Samphire Hoe yesterday. 🍯 Early for #WildflowerHour.

Sadly, i’ve not had much time for botanising this week with lots of end-of-term egg hunts & collecting my daughter from uni. Happily there were a few Cowslips tucked in amongst my local Primroses plus their hybrid love child, the False Oxlip, Primula x polyantha💛 #CowslipChallenge #wildflowerhour

Peak primrose unlocked! For #wildflowerhour #storyplants, in the Middle Ages, concoctions of these beautiful flowers were used to treat gout & rheumatism, & more fittingly I think, also employed in love potions! They certainly seemed a great favourite with the Bee-flies today!💛
