Viper's Bugloss (Echium vulgare), UK (i.imgur.com)

Ling or Heather (Calluna vulgaris) in bud, UK (i.imgur.com)

Looks like a white specimen too, rather than the more usual pink. So much of this around me - on the east coast of England - has suffered due to the drought last year and is pretty much dead. Not all though, and we will get a better view of how it is doing when the flowers open in another few days

Went camping in the Eastern Sierras this weekend, the snowmelt has wildflowers everywhere, including this pretty Mariposa Lily (lemmy.world)

Common Mallow (Malva sylvestris), UK (i.imgur.com)

Iris domestica, commonly known as leopard lily, blackberry lily, and leopard flower [OC] (lemmy.world)

Common Camas (Camassia quamash) (lemmy.world)

Northern California

Weld or Dyer's Rocket (Reseda luteola) (i.imgur.com)

Along with madder and woad, one of the staples dyes of the ancient world.

Lady's Bedstraw (Galium verum) (i.imgur.com)

Bell Heather (Erica cinerea) (i.imgur.com)

The most drought-tolerant of the UK heathers, which has left it in a good place on the lowland heaths of England’s east coast this year. Ling and Crossed-leaved heath are suffering.
