When plants glow

Portuguese cats are very characterful... sheltering from the heat on Ilha da Culatra today.

Algarve by night 🌲 #Portugal #pinetrees

A touch of beauty in an ocean of concrete - stray Feverfew at sunset 🌼 #spontaneousflora #morethanweeds

Several hundred kgs of apples and pears later 🍎🍐...juice, cider and perry for the winter. ☺️

Wild tree pits in Luxembourg, full of insects! Giving a space to nature, and particularly spontaneous flora in cities should be a priority 🌱 Very excited to be giving a lecture at @kewgardens in November (as part of the @kmis_lectures series) about the importance of "weeds" and their implications for horticulture, landscaping and urban planning.

Colchicum 'Waterlily' has finally come out of hiding. Hard to find a more romantic flower at this time of the year 🍂

Not the rarest of birds here, but still mighty impressive and a pleasure to watch. A pair of young Buzzards have taken residence in the garden, probably to feast on our catastrophically high population of voles. They should be well fed this year! 🐀

Colour from the garden, with a little sprinkle of fresh thyme. I've grown about 80 tomato varieties over the years but my favourite is the pale yellow 'White Queen' 🍅

Incredible visit to one of the last primary forests in Europe, Biogradska Gora in Montenegro. Discovering the ancient trees, streams lined with giant butterburs and glacial lakes was quite the experience under a thunderstorm!
