Is anyone else finding seedlings of Trachycarpus fortunei more often these days? These were beneath an impressive clump of palms that were seeding abundantly at Marwell Zoo, Hampshire. Not sure if any will reach maturity, but they’re a few years old and definitely vigorous @trisnorton.bsky.social

Wild daffodil were once a common sight in the countryside. Today it’s a rarer sight. They create a stunning display with delicate blooms seen in shaded ancient woodlands or damp meadows 🌿 In Wales it's known as ‘cenhinen Bedr’ (Peter’s leek) & is a cherished national symbol. @bsbibotany.bsky.social
