Had a delicious barefoot bumble around a soggy floodplain meadow. It was an afternoon of splashing through water - one of muddy toe wriggles, Sedge Warblers and Marsh-marigolds (Caltha palustris) - is there a more yellow yellow?! 😍

I do quite like a bit of Scapania, and Scapania uliginosa will do very nicely.

“I’ve poured all my love for nature into this book” That’s made it eloquent, magical, charming, passionate. I’d definitely recommend it to nature lovers, especially, of course, if wild flowers interest you. My 11th book of 2024. 📚 Leif Bersweden Hodder & Stoughton BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland

Bit late to the party but what a find Dr Richard Bate!!! I imagine your initial reaction was a little less calm than this one 😂😂 Ridiculously rare plant - the last two confirmed sightings of a Ghost Orchid in the UK before this were 2009 and 1987 🤯
