Meadow Cranesbill in The Peak District this week growing by the River Derwent. ##wildflowerhour

Been up in The Peak District this week and saw a few live flowers on walks. Devil's-bit Scabious, Succisa pratensis, doing ok in the semi shade. Great plant. #wildflowerhour also spooky name so qualifies for #CommonNames as well.

Golden Ringed Dragonfly having forty winks in the grass, when we were looking for wildflowers.

Lovely white version of Common Spotted Orchid on the Steyning Downs. #wildflowerhour

I can’t stop posting these little beauties. Green Winged Orchid. Sussex. #wildflowerhour @SussexWildlife

Some delightful Green-winged Orchids locally, in Sussex. Colours mostly shades of purple, but a few off white beauties as well. #wildflowerhour @SussexWildlife

A nice scattering of Green Hairstreaks on the Downs behind Steyning yesterday. A few airborne confrontations between couples. One rumpus involving a Green Hairstreak and a Small Copper. @BcSussex @SussexWildlife

Small Copper at Anchor Bottom yesterday afternoon, enjoying a snack. @BcSussex @SussexWildlife

Kithurst Meadow despite a chilly wind. Duke of Burgundy. @BcSussex

Celandine claiming its place among the woodland plants. Really good value plant, starting early and finishing late. Such a cheerful little flower. #WoodlandPlants #wildflowerhour.

Wood Anemone with a pink vibe. Spithandle Woods. #WoodlandPlants #wildflowerhour

The first Early Purple Orchid I have seen so far, dipping its toe out to test the weather today. Spithandle Woods. #WoodlandPlants #wildflowerhour

Moschatel. It looked good when I took the photo, but a bit the worse for wear zoomed in. #wildflowerhour

A few Bluebells tentatively testing the weather at Spithandle woods today. #wildflowerhour.
