Naturalised Eryngium cf. planum in flower by Dundee railway station today. Only Eryngium seems to manage that electric blue. Much loved by bees. #Gardenescapers @TomosJones92 @BSBIbotany

Mermaid gin is made here - Isle of Wight Distillery. The #gin includes rock samphire (Crithmum maritimum #Apiaceae) which gives a slightly salty tang. Perhaps the best marketing ploy is the blue bottle! The Bodicea hops are grown @Ventnor_Botanic - photographed yesterday.

#PlantADay 7. Splachnaceae #mosses are a bit macabre. They thrive in nitrogen-rich environments, including animal droppings, old bones, & rotting carcasses. Many also enlist the aid of flies for spore dispersal by enticing them with pungent scents and brightly-colored sporophytes
