Lunaria Annua ( also known in English as honesty, money plant, moneywort, penny flower, silver dollar, and many other names). Lincolnshire. England. March 2024.
More good news and another 'up yours' to Gove's Planning Inspectorate, which overruled the local council's 2021 decision to refuse permission for Egdon to drill for oil in an area of outstanding natural beauty.
"At all levels of local democracy I think everybody who could say no said no … but still they are trying to ignore that.”

Am considering setting up an instance for North UK.

Trying to gauge how much interest there might be.
Could everyone give this a boost to reach as many as possible.
