Not every Sunday, but on most, I do my best to take part in #Wildflowerhour on Twitter. Wild Flower Hour is a wonderful community of people that are interested in the wild flowers which are in bloom in the UK at the present time. I have been taking part for about 9 months now and I have learnt so much from everyone that takes part. If you are interested in our wild flowers please do give them a follow, even if you don’t post any images of your finds to start with you can learn so much by looking at everyone else’s photos. As I slowly began to get more confident in my identification I also gained confidence to post more images. Even if you don’t know the name of a flower you have photographed someone will be there to help ID it for you, especially if you include #WildflowerID to your tweet. I know as more of the yellow flowers come into bloom I will be asking for help as I find some of them so confusing; the difference between Common Ragwort and Hoary Ragwort, nope I still haven’t got my head around that one yet!
