From dunes inspired by a poet’s sandy shoes @pollyrowena
Vipers Bugloss, Bladder or Sea? Campion, #wildflowerID , Wild Pansy

And (always) a mountain or two. 1/3

Hawkweed or Hawkbit,
(definitely) Harebell growing through a former sea bed of limestone,
and something familiar I’ve not seen before #wildflowerID - growing along a quarry face as a peregrine begged its parent to share some food.

Heathery hills and a felltop tarn. Heather is a Lost Word.
Ling and Bell Heather here I think...it’ll all look even better quite soon. No harmful burning here.
Orchid in the peaty bog and an unusually flowery fellside for the Lakes...

I’m not getting tangled up in #arableweeds aggro with any angry (or happy!) botanists.
Have a look, suit yourself.
I had a lovely time on the roadside (M6, junction 38).
Red clover + six-spot burnet moth (near & far)
Orchid
BIG ? #wildflowerID

Swaledale meadows - just ahead of the crinkle cut (over the wall)...between Muker and Ivelet.
All sorts - woods cranesbill, eyebright, unbowed-as-yet melancholy thistles, harebell, yellow rattle gone to seed...

So, how was your day 14 @30DaysWild ? Flowers & all that.
Mine was epic @cumbriawildlife
Bugs photo-bombing us all day.
Maybe a new theme for #wildflowerhour ?
Beetle in a hawkbit?, Argus on a plantain? Flies in cranesbill. Watter in ladies mantle.
Orchid in bondage next.

Orchids galore yesterday on the hill land owned by Comrie community. Several different species, though I struggle to identify them.
Will post some close ups later.
Here is what I think is probably lesser butterfly orchid. Confirmation appreciated. #wildflowerid
