A lovely wild Primrose (Primula vulgaris) because, why not? 🌼

Day 86 of #365DaysOfBotany🌱 and it's a brace of blooming Dog Violet, Viola riviniana, growing in my neighbors wall.

Day 85 of #365DaysOfBotany🌱 and it's a lovely patch of Ivy-leaved Speedwell, Veronica hederifolia

Day 84 of #365DaysOfBotany🌱 and it's Wood Forget-me-Not, Myosotis sylvatica (I think).

Woo! Dark-edged Bee-Fly feeding on Lungwort during this afternoon's 30 minute wander.

All this time in the house is giving me ample time to work on propergation... Looks like I'm going to have a boatload of Monstera to give away very soon... 🌱

Greater Stitchwort, Stellaria holostea, complete with gatecrashing ant for Day 83 of #365DaysOfBotany🌱

Plenty of Small Tortoiseshell about too...

My first Comma of the day during a sunny walk on the outskirts of Newcastle. A real beauty, and one of my favourite butterflies.

Social distancing leaves plenty time to appreciate the small things. Ivy-leaved Toadflax, Daffodil sp, Colt's-foot, Oxford Ragwort and Dandelion from yesterday's 30 mins of exercise. 🌼

Not your usual pavement plant! An escaped Grape Hyacinth, probably Muscari armeniacum, for Day 81 of #365DaysOfBotany🌱

And in other news, both Tree and Buff-tailed Bumblebees are on the wing again. Hooray!
