I love the common name of this woodland plant - Enchanters Nightshade (Circaea lutetiana). It's not a relative of the Deadly Nightshade, in fact it was used as an aphrodisiac in Scotland. It has tiny little white flowers, but close up they are fabulous. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling

I must have picked twenty #tomatoes from one #plant over the past two weeks. I wish I had someone to #share them with, because they're perfectly ripe and super flavorful.

My great-great-grandfather grew tomatoes for #survival money after he immigrated from #Sicily. The #FarmersMarket he sold them at is still around and one of my favorite places, but it's in a different place. It turns out that the local #DSA chapter meets near where it used to be.

Yellow Rattle (Rhinanthus minor), the "Meadow Maker". This annual plant is treated as essential to sustain a good flower meadow, it is parasitic on grasses and keeps them in check, allowing the other plants to thrive. However, it needs a prolonged cold spell to germinate (about 3 months between 2 & 6 °C) , so I guess warming winters will put an end to it in the UK. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling

Foxglove (Digitalis purpurea) thriving at the foot of an old drystone wall still guarding a disused railway embankment. In my neck of the woods the old industrial areas are amongst the best places for botanical photography. So something to thank Thatcher for, because we have a lot of them :) #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling

Wild Strawberry (Fragaria vespa), a welcome sight in our local woodland, they are delicious and can't really be confused with anything inedible.

One of the wonderful plants you see whist walking the dune paths on Lindisfarne at this time of year, Marsh Helleborine (Epipactus palustris), so if you are visiting drag yourself away from the crowds in the village, park up at The Snook and take a walk up to Vera's house. This photo was taken right next to that path.

Blackthorn (Prunis spiosa). Sloe GIn anyone? One of those old country recipes that is well used today. The locals round here know where to find the best sloe berries. Not quite the season yet, but this old shot caught my eye. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower

Gladiolus sp.

Field Poppies (Papaver rhoeas)- for once not the glorious field full of them, jut a couple that presumably survived the weedkiller. Farmer must've missed a bit.

A summer afternoon on the moors. Common Cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium). Cottongrasses are a signature plant of the grassier Northumberland Moors, this shot was taken whilst lying sunbathing listening to Curlews & Skylarks. For some reason it's the County Flower of Manchester. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling

St Johns Wort, This one is probably Hairy St Johns Wort (Hypericum hirsuta). It's feeding a good number of small black beetles, I wonder if they are interested in the little black dots around the edges of leaves/petals? They are glands containing the drug Hypericin, which is being studied for antidepressant / anti-cancer properties and has been used in folk medicine for centuries. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling
