Not much for #WildflowerHour this week. Here's a Red Deadnettle growing beside a footpath in #Swindon on Thursday.

A small plant, seen from directly above. Pale pink flowers stick out sideways in 4 directions.

Lots of catkins on the Hazel trees around here now. Most still aren't properly open but a few at Jubilee Lake in Royal Wootton Bassett were in full flower already. #WildflowerHour #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Felt like I searched every Hazel with male catkins yesterday looking for a female flower. Eventually found literally one in the whole park (Jubilee Lake in Royal Wootton Bassett). Lots of buds, so I think things are about to get serious for the Hazels. #WildflowerHour #Wiltshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A bud attached to a twig, From the end of the bud emerge not leaves but short pink tendrils.

Day 4 of the 2025 #dragonfly #AdventCalendar. An immature Black-tailed Skimmer settling in to roost at the wonderful #Wiltshire #WildlifeTrust reserve at #LowerMoor Farm in early June. Males turn blue after a few days while females retain this black and yellow stripy pattern. #DragonflyAdventCalendar #invertebrates #ukwildlife #wildlife #insects #invertebrates #wildlifephotography #photography

A black and yellow dragonfly clings to a dead reed stem. Nettle plants can be seen out of focus in the background.
