Impressive numbers of sloes on my walk last week on Stockridge Down (Hants)... and what may well be the last of the round-headed rampions I shall see there this year!

It's hard to pick a #FavouritePlant from all those seen in a season but it is one with a mainly western distribution seen on our holiday in Devon that stands out in my mind. It is navelwort, here growing on a stony bank facing the sea, that is my choice. #wildflowerhour

Autumn gentians have been scarce at The Holies (at Streatley, W. Berks) this year with none found for last week's gentian challenge, so pleasantly surprised this week to find even one of the related chiltern gentians. #wildflowerhour
