Every Sunday evening Twitter hosts #wildflowerhour by @BSBIbotany and @fennelandfern. Everyone is welcomed to post photos of wildflowers found in the nature to keep track of what is still in bloom. I have joined on the couple of occasions and yesterday there was a really good turnout and lots of lovely photos. This Saturday Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland hosts an annual exhibition meeting in Natural History Museum in London. They also organise the New Year Plant Hunt which sounds really interesting and I am willing to find out more about it.
I went yesterday for a usual walk down the River Thames and spotted just few flowers. So today, after my dentist appointment I nipped into the Bishop’s Park on the other side of the river and got few more photos. There was a light frost in some places of the park and the leaves and grasses looked beautifully framed. Might save those for another post!
I hope I did get all the identifications right but if any mistakes, please let me know. Are there any wildflowers still blooming in your places?












that’s a lovely gallery. I know nearly all of these flowers, but I’m sure these photos are not from November?
All found yesterday and today 😊it has been very mild November so far and the flowers just kept blooming.
great
Fantastic wildflowers, and I have them all…Cyclamen (both colours) I planted, they are not natives to my garden…I love this post 🙂
Thank you, found cyclamens growing in the cemetery between yew trees.
Yes, they are in fact Alpine flowers. They should be frost tolerant. Therefore I planted mine in the garden as an experiment. We’ll see!
I love your images very much, all of them🌹
Thank you again!
Beautiful flowers. The flowers season has finished for us now as we start winter.
Amazing that there are still flowers blooming. The other day I saw some wild roses starting a second bloom!
Saw some roses still going as well.
You are doing much better than us at keeping your wild flowers. A very nice set of pictures.
Thank you, I guess that will be it for now though.
What a lovely selection of flowers! We had quite a few of those still around last week but I haven’t yet had the chance to look again after the snow and frost we had at the weekend.
I saw few more flowers just a couple of weeks ago like oxeye daisies and lots of bindweed which have all gone this week.
We still had oxeye daisies a couple of weeks ago too.
Lovely wildflower tour. Is it typical for you to still have so many in bloom this late?
A lovely collection of wildflowers! You’ve done well to find so many at this time of year. 🙂
Thank you, so glad there are still some around.
