late for #wildflowerhour again, but here's some lacy phacelia, bush (?) vetch, camomile of some kind, and crimson clover in a lincolnshire field today

the field was full of the first two, so guessing they're being grown for nitrogen fixing

terrible photos cause I couldn't see my phone in the sun!

right under this post from Hank is one from @bennjordan.bsky.social with this screenshot

I find Hank's posing of his question very disingenuous for some reason

marsh marigold and sweet violets for #wildflowerhour with a close up of those sepals on the violets for the challenge! marsh marigold turns out to not really have any sepals though!

wood anemone not fancying the weather today. in a country hall's tree "walk", but presumably the site of an ancient woodland long ago? #wildflowerhour

there is actually! new stars are born in these nebulae and their stellar winds blow bubbles within the gases

also many astrophysical objects, including entire galaxies, can emit jets of plasma, which can travel at significant fractions of the speed of light over colossal distances
