Run through the fields, down to the edge of the water
Can't stay long, here comes the reason why
She'll catch me if she can, take me by the hand
I'll have to keep on running and I just can't see the fun in
My secret garden not being secret anymore

Picture of stone stairs into a garden through the pattern of the metal door. Everywhere are plants and nature, growing over the stones, the wall and the entrance. Seems like no-one has taken care of the property for a while. Photo is portrait and black and white.

I'm getting distinct "Ooh matron" vibes from this tomato...

First frost protection for Fall/Winter 2026 for the outdoor #CarnivorousPlants on the balcony in zone 7b, Germany. This is a single layer of thin frost protection fleece with the bottom and rear open. Lowest temperature forecasted for overnight is 3C/37F, but the weather will go back and forth for a while. Later in the season it will move to a portable greenhouse for overwintering.

I don’t care how expensive a plant is, it gets a spray down with neem oil and a full shower before it’s allowed in shared spaces. #plants #monstera

I have no idea what these are, but they're huge. Those leaves are on the order of five or six feet across and several of the stalks were taller than me. #plants #green #Photography

On my way back from #MigFest I stopped at #RSPB #BlacktoftSands on Monday. Not much in flower there, but I did see plenty of Prickly Sow-thistle. #WildflowerHour #Lincolnshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A large yellow flower shaped rather like a dandelion.

It's still just about clinging on, so here's the mandatory Fleabane photo for this week. Taken on Thursday morning on my way to work. #Swindon #Wiltshire #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Two bright yellow daisy-shaped flowers in front of a lot of rather speckly green leaves.

Autumn Hawkbit normally flowers in late summer so hasn't been too bothered by the drought earlier. Lots of it about in #Swindon at the moment. This one in a crack in the paving in my front yard. #Wiltshire #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Alt...

A small round yellow flower with lots of small thin petals. Like a dandelion but not with anything like as many petals as a dandelion.

The drought stopped most of the Fox And Cubs plants in my front yard from flowering, which was very disappointing. This one brave soul has decided to give it a go now there's been rain - one flower on Friday, then 3 new ones today. Such beautiful flowers. #Swindon #Wiltshire #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

An orange flower a bit like a small dandelion.

Three circular orange flowers. Behind them are two red buds preparing to open. In front is a single flower which has finished and shrivelled up prior to setting seed.

Always a favourite. Bristly Ox-tongue in Royal Wootton Bassett #Wiltshire this afternoon. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Alt...

A yellow flower with lots of small petals in a tight ring. The flower stem is very hairy. In the background are out-of-focus leaves on which bristles can be seen.

One or two species that I'm seeing for the first time this year at the moment, after they failed to flower during the drought. Black Nightshade is one of those. This one in a crack in paving in #Bristol on Thursday. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

Alt...

A small plant growing from the crack between two paving stones in a footpath. Its flower is white and star-shaped, a similar shape to the potato and tomato plants to which it's related.

Second part of the Venus Flytrap seedling transfer preparation, the bog looks good. I haven't water germated like this before but I think the seedlings are ok, at least they are still alive. I am using #guvcview for the magnifier capture and soldering clamps to keep it in place while #livebogging :)

Overview of the bog with digital magnifier

The first seedlings from the 2026 Venus Flytrap harvest are ready to plant. I water germinated them this time and it seems to have worked. I think I will put them in the bog. The last stalk with seed pods is still attached and should be ready to pull in a few days.
