A couple of weeks ago I tentatively identified this non-native plant growing from birdseed in my mother's garden as Common Amaranth. On Friday I visited again and this time I brought my hand lens to check the tepal shape and the seed pods. Happy with the ID. #WildflowerHour

Three new blooms all in the same patch in our local country park - Shepherd's Purse, Common Chickweed and Red Dead-nettle. Must be getting close to #TheWinter10! #WildflowerHour

I don't think I've seen Common Storksbill since before the heatwave. Found this one in an abandoned flowerbed in Bristol during a lunchtime walk on Tuesday. #WildflowerHour

Family commitments have left me with little time to spend in nature this week. Fortunately, my garden is still full of beautiful wildflowers, such as this Autumn Hawkweed (Hieracium sabaudum), a self-seeded beauty that is blooming for the second time this year #WildflowerHour
