Red Campion for the challenge. Not one of my more difficult botanising trips - it's growing in a planter in my front yard in which I encourage wild flowers. Not that they don't also take over the rest of the yard, but some of them aren't so good at growing in the cracks.

I wonder if anything will ever be done with the Signal Point/National Rail building in Swindon?

National Rail took back ownership of it 4 years ago, promising it would be refurbished. Yet here we are in Swindon, all still looking at a boarded up derelict building.

My favourite photo of the week - Field Forget-me-not growing on a grassy bit which one of the local business parks is encouraging to grow as wildflowers. Smaller and paler flowers than the hulking big garden escapes I see more often in urban .

This is a garden escapee, growing beside a public footpath in . It's a garden variety of Wood Forget-me-not. I assume it was bred for a long flowering season and that may be why it's so early. Not sure if it will manage to dodge the mowers when they start up again in the spring.

Still plenty of Oxford Ragwort in flower in the town centre in if you hunt around a bit.

It's December so welcome to the 2023 featuring a different species each day for 24 days. We start with a Southern Migrant Hawker. A fairly recent arrival in the UK; this one was at in July. They like ditches with very little water, even if they dry out in summer. They're huge compared to most other UK species.

Day 12 of the 2023 . Azure is very common and lives almost everywhere in the UK. The males are one of two common species that are almost entirely bright blue. This mating pair was at my local park in in June.

This is for all of my folllowers across the pond, who enjoy a bit of footie.

I found this in a thrift store today for .50, & figured it would be good for a few samples and Tom foolery in the studio.

Fox-and-Cubs is gradually taking over part of my front yard/parking spot. It grows in the cracks between the paving. If it expands much further I may start to struggle to find somewhere to park. It's mostly over now but one stubborn individual is still flowering.

This wasn't at a nature reserve; it was in a newly-planted bit of woodland by a football ground in . Based on other photos, it appears to be Hoary Ragwort, which isn't all that rare but is something I've not seen before. A nice one for I think.

In the world of things that companies will get away with when advertising watchdogs turn a blind eye, an old contender is back.

The AA, which once proclaimed itself the 4th emergency service, much to the annoyance of the actual 4th emergency service, in an advertisement that declares that it has a service for everything, has a road sign where the pointer towards Enormous Swirling Vortex …

… points in the opposite direction to .

Common Storksbill in during the week. There was just one road verge that was full of these; it must get mowed slightly differently to the others.
