Bloodroot is blooming.
Historically it was used as a red dye for baskets and clothes. #wildflower #nature

Perennial that grows one white flower, with 8-12 petals. They don’t last long so if you see one it’s special!

On north-facing slopes on the Rolling Plains eco region of the North American Great Plains, there grows a wildflower which has remained overlooked...until I stumbled across it. Thus began my journey of becoming a botanist so I can describe it as a new species...a work still in progress.

Flower with many white sepals and yellow stamens.

Three people gathered around a flower on a grassland.

Landscape view of grassland. The flower is a tiny white speck in lower center.

First (oddly purple) bluebell flowering at Plessey Woods, Northumberland. This seems really early?

Some more spring impressions from my hometown.

We had several days of warm spell (high twenties) and today we're back to 5-6C. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in Scotland..

Two tiny white crocus blooms (about 1 to 1.5cm wide in diametre). The ground around them are carpeted with small green leaves.

Pale pink plum blossoms agains the background of light blue sky.

Camellia type deep and bright pink flowers and their dark green leaves.

A miniature blue flower (about 5mm in diamitre) with five petals and whitish yellow disk in the middle, blooming on the ground with some light green (some brown) leaves on the ground. As I was taking this picture, our dog got curious and nosed around the area I was photographing. Thus, on the upper left side of the picture, we can see a massive, creamy-coloured, and out of focus muzzle of our dog.

I'm taking a break from cleaning my new home before Moving Day (I rent, there's no chain).

For the first time in decades, I actually have accessible earth in which I may plant!

There's a couple of #wildflower occupants; I'll negotiate ;)

Dandelion flowers: two golden pompom open flowers, an opening bud left and a spent flower in the foreground. Growing between paving slabs in my new patio.

Wooden-sided raised bed containing a jumble of grass & other low greenery. There is - I think - mouse-ear chickweed (tiny white stars) and a speedwell (v small sky-blue bud)

Saponaria officinalis blooms in the Netherlands in the summer and is quite common there in the wild, including on our golf course. There they bloom in large groups. I photographed them after a fresh rain shower. Always fun to do, because of the many raindrops. Moreover, I think it is a beautiful flower. Also for a garden. In the Netherlands the plant is called "Zeepkruid (Soapwort)". It smells nice, both during the day and at night. #wildflowers #wildflower #garden #nature #bloomscrolling #photo #photos #flowers #flower #fleurs #blumen #bloemen

These are the pink flowers of the Saponaria officinalis. In the photo a small piece of stem (horizontal, coming from the left in the middle) with in the middle and right of the photo a bunch of 15 small pink flowers and about 10 still in bud. The sepals of the flowers are rolled up into a tube of one centimeter, from which the light pink petals protrude (5 petals per flower). It has rained. Some flowers are a bit wilted by the rainfall, but others have already recovered. Lots of raindrops lie on the leaves. The background is vague and darkgreen in which various different types of leaves still can be recognized.
