A regular three-parted #Tigridia 😍 and a poor confused four-parted one 😳. In the garden this morning. #Iridaceae #Teratology (the previous flower on the yellow one also had four parts)

Gloxinias are +/- out of fashion, but I still like them 😍. #Sinningia #Gesneriaceae

It’s that time of the year 😋

My copy of #Vermeulen’s “Studies on dactylorchids” (1947) - not the prettiest cover, but look at the #ExLibris 😍. It previously belonged to AJ #Wilmott, the author of many names of plants on which I have worked - #Orchis sl (including #Dactylorhiza) and #Sorbus! #Taxonomy

Er gwaethaf y glaw, mae rhai o'r planhigion yn tyfu'n dda/ Some of the plants seem to have enjoyed the damp weather 😍

A #Passiflora we grew from seed 😍. (Female parent was ‘Fata Confetto’). #PassionFlower #Passifloraceae

How’s this for a homegrown carrot 🥕? I thought our lichen-covered wall made a nice background! #Apiaceae #lichens

A homegrown beet - one is enough to feed everyone 😉 #Beta #Amaranthaceae

You know it’s been a weird season when you can still pick a bunch of sweetpeas on 17 August 😳 #Lathyrus odoratus

Mae'n amlwg bod y tywydd wedi bod yn od os allwch chi gasglu pys pêr ar Awst 17eg 😳

And so it begins - the first big picking of tomatoes in 2024 🍅🍅🍅 #Solanum #Solanaceae

Meet #Solanum lycopersicum ‘E.T.’ (#Solanaceae)

A convolvulus hawkmoth (#Agrius convolvuli; dead 😢) found in the garden yesterday - one of our largest native moths, its wings are almost as long as my thumb! #Moths #Hawkmoths #Sphingidae

Interesting clouds over Ham Parade yesterday evening - it looked like the petrol station was on fire 😳 Wildlife in Ham&P
