A modern art installation at High Elms Country Park. A collaborative effort from dog walkers and @LBofBromley council?
Bulbous Buttercup. The earliest of the four varieties of buttercup that flower near me. Note the reflexed (folded back) sepals and the bulb-like root #WildflowerHour
Love it when I see a new wildflower for the first time! Coralroot. Scarce and beautiful, just on a verge in the Sussex High Weald #WildflowerHour
Bittercress coming into flower. Those 4 stamens help distinguish it from Wavy Bittercress #WildflowerHour
The way that Hazel Bracket (Skeletocutis nivea) just envelopes twigs #FungiFriday
Some super-fresh Collared Earthstars (Geastrum triplex) spotted yesterday for #FungiFriday #fungi
Peach-leaved Bellflower still in flower for #WildflowerHour on the Winter Solstice!
Here’s an early Winter Heliotrope to wish all you #WildflowerHour folk a Happy Christmas
The first daffodils are flowering in my garden already! It’s not even Winter Solstice yet. Spring is coming…
Can anybody read fungi? This looks like some ancient language #fungi #fungiFriday
The Devil’s Fingers fungi emerging from their alien looking eggs in time for Halloween #FungiFriday #fungus
An oak leaf be-jewelled with galls by the tiny Spangle Gall Wasp. Each gall holds a single larva which develops over winter before emerging as an adult in spring.
White Saddle Fungus. It looks more like a hound’s head to me (Helvella crispa) #fungi
These are all the same species! Blackening Waxcaps (Hygrocybe conica) doing their colour change trick for #WildFungiHour #fungi #WildflowerHour
Orange Peel Fungus! Honestly you’d just think it’s discarded orange peel… #WildFungusHour #fungi
Some huge Crimson Waxcaps in the local cemetery for #WildFungusHour (!)(Hygrocybe punicea) #fungi
