In 2002 the botanical charity Plantlife, founded by David Bellamy, had the wacky idea of getting the great British public to vote on which flower should be their "county flower". As a result Northumberland's county flower is now Bloody Cranesbill (Geranium sanguinium), which is a bit strange because it only grows in a narrow strip at the coast. It’s absent from most of the place.

Betony, (Betonica officinalis), forms lovely clumps of colour in unkempt grassland. A plant where the scientific name has changed recently, likely as part of a taxonomists job creation scheme. DNA profiling has led to much to-ing and fro-ing of plants in the highly regimented naming structure, which is intended to reflect the evolution of life on earth. Or something. It’s playing havoc with my wildlife photo indexing system. #PlantADay #Botany #Nature #Plant #Wildflower #BloomScrolling

A close up of a purple flowerhead, standing in an out of focus sea of similar flowers creating a rich purple scene. Grass stems punctuate the scene.

A splash of summer colour, Sea Pink (America maritima) growing in a rocky crevice on a slabby hill slope near the sea. It’s surrounded by some wonderful Lichens – A bright yellow Caloplaca, a little grey clump of Ramalina siliquosa on the far left and sheets of a light grey crustose lichen covering other areas. In stormy weather this will be lashed with salt spray, but on a calm sunny day it’s paradise.

A clump of pink flowers growing on a flattish rocky surface which is covered in yellow and grey lichens.
