A candidate for tree of the day, perhaps @alastaircampbell2.bsky.social ? It may become more beautiful but I wanted a photo in case the wind tears it to pieces

It's that #wildflowerhour time of the week, but I haven't had time to admire any this week. Will a cosmos with a butterfly do instead?

Happy autumn equinox to all! Thing I learned today: the sun rises/sets due east/west today. Also, today's sunset will be approx 30 seconds faster than the sunset at the solstices.

I'm taking SO many photos these days, I think I'll start putting a few here on Bluesky, in case other people might enjoy them. Let's start with a comma butterfly I was excited to meet today - first I've seen outside a book 🙂

Mount Stewart, Isle of Bute today, and in the garden a big clump of verbena bonariensis, and on the flowers there were SO MANY BUTTERFLIES - painted ladies, red admirals, cabbage whites and even a dragonfly! 😍

No pea family for #wildflowerhour, will this yellow iris do instead? Or perhaps an allium with added bees?

Observe the foggy bummer:
Stumbling, pollen-drunk,
from bloom to bloom,
legs heavy with gold for her queen.
Rejoicing in sunlight,
she moves in the moment,
observes every flower,
intent on her task.
Can we, who are living
in fear and in crisis,
take heed of her humming
and be more bee?

@bsbibotany.bsky.social Can anyone say what this is? Puttering along the Union canal today, saw a big patch of bank covered in grey fluff, which had fallen from the trees above. Some sort of catkins? So many! Pics are poor (shot by phone, moving boat) but show green, toothed, ribbed leaves in fluff

I was excited to correctly remember and spot sweet cicely this week, after being taught to identify its white splashed leaves and aniseed taste a few years ago on a foraging walk #wildflowerhour
