@bsbibotany.bsky.social when I saw this at base of wall in Daventry Northamptonshire one species jumped out straight away Malling toadflax Chaenorhinum origanifolium. Looking on the web of its leaves it's looking promising

Back in 2023 I spotted a very lovely little Iris growing in rough grass behind railings in Llandudno Junction. It’s still there, and seems to be first British record for Iris reticulata x histrioides. Close-up photo courtesy of Wendy McCarthy (County Recorder) who had a much better camera than me!

@bsbibotany.bsky.social looks like another new monad record for musk storksbill in Daventry too. A species once extinct in Northamptonshire but was refound 4 the county by myself and Paul Stanley in the early 2000s Since then number of records for this species in my county is picking up the pace.

@bsbibotany.bsky.social @richardmabbutt.bsky.social this glossy rosette has thrown me out for quite a while. One thought I had is a type of willowherb. Several below and on low brick wall. Long Buckby Northamptonshire. One specimen collected to grow on to see what it is

@bsbibotany.bsky.social well it looks more like it now with better growth. Wall bedstraw new for Wellingborough Northamptonshire in a driveway. On the increase in my county. Specimen collected to grow in cultivation as where it grows could be threatened by weedkillers.

@bsbibotany.bsky.social @naturalengland.bsky.social well thanks to habitat management by both rangers/wardens and fallow deer at Castor Hanglands, it only took me five minutes to find a man orchid rosette. Data for last record for the site I have so far found out is from 2016.

@bsbibotany.bsky.social @joshual951.bsky.social as a big mousetail Myosurus minimus population got totally herbicide sprayed on it last year at one Northants site, permission granted for a new transaction "safety" site. Edges of this field entrance are the trial site.
