There’s plenty of rubbish out there about how the nights are drawing in and the worst season is coming along. Yes, yes, winter’s coming and all that, but that doesn’t mean you have to stop botanising. It’s just a different sort of challenge.
Every week in the spring and summer, we’ve been running different #wildflowerhour challenges to encourage you to go looking for new flowers, in new habitats and in different ways. But though the meadows are turning russet and ochre, there are still flowers out there to find.
So our weekly winter challenge is #thewinter10 which is to find ten different wild flowers in bloom each week. Once you’ve found them, work out what they are, and post them for the rest of us to see.
You can do this on Twitter using the usual #wildflowerhour hashtag, but adding #thewinter10, and numbering your tweets so that we can see that you reached 10. Or you can post all 10 at once in our Facebook group.
This will give us a picture of what’s still flowering as the days grow colder and shorter, and encourage all of us to get off the sofa and get out into what remains the great outdoors all year round: the only difference is that you’ll want to wear a coat and gloves.
