    I think it's a bit silly to group a plant into a particular family solely upon the blooms very vaguely resembling a rose, heck nothing of the rest of the plant, foliage, stems or roots at all grow like that of a rose! Oh, it's nothing the matter of you mentioning so, it's just these botanists that hinge all on one small little trait!

    Love orchids! This is a particularly lovely one. It reminds me of hyacinth. Here we have a wild orchid named snake or osha orchid that comes up wild in our grasses.

    Ah thanks, so it's named after a pigeon, I've been wondering why it's called Columbine when it isn't a twining bine!

    Wonderful as always, thank you. As this is a non-native bindweed and rarely produces seed in the British Isles, another mystery is HOW is it managing to spread everywhere ?! By the way, I'm wondering if the name you've used is right. My Collins Pocket Guide says that Hedge Bindweed is the native species, with flowers that are only about half this size, 3-3.5cm across (and what's the pollinator for this?). This must be non-native Giant Bindweed, 6-7.5cm across. I'm sure I've seen lots of bumblebees crawling in.

    Oh my goodness, your films are just wonderful. I'm listening carefully, as I'm doing a nature walk tomorrow at a local nature reserve here in Bristol, and I want to point out the vines & bines - Honeysuckle, Travellers Joy, Columbine and White Bryony. You always have some special information, such as the colour change in the flowers - changing from white flowers which push the anthers to the fore, to yellow flowers next day pushing the stigmas to the fore! Thank you.

    Thank you John, however I must disagree. Do not let the beautiful flowers fool you. I’d even go as far as to call these Skibidi bindweeds a pure showcase of parasitism. A symbiote of some sort, stealing the nutrients and choke holding the plants of my beloved garden, for their personal gains. Kind of like the HMRC and the tax man with their goofy ahh Ohio tax legislations. Sunak must be stopped. I’ve never despised a plant more than these. If I see one of these seeping from the nook and crannies of my fence I will show no remorse and destroy it like a cockroach. My neighbours garden is infested by it and their garden is unkept like my haircut in covid era. We are certainly doomed as they are the source of evil. How must I get rid of this infectious disease father John please help me.

    I have a plant exactly like it in my yard but not as pink. I always wondered what it was called. The one in my yard does seed in the fall. As you were instructing I paused the video and went to get one to follow along and it's exactly alike except for the pink is not as dark on the flower and the fused narrow tubes don't have reddish tint on them, but otherwise the leaves and inside are the same and I located the ovary and it has the two stiles of stigma. I'm trying to learn about medicinal plants. I think the ones I have smells like pepper. Could mine be a different cultivar?

    Thanks for your teaching vids. Here in central Spanish plains the poppies thrive profusely in the cereal fields as well. They are considered a plague. When springs are wet you can see big patches of poppies streching along the lands which is beautiful

    Super interesting. We have a fuscia colored Rose Campion here with fuzzy silver leaves that is also known as Roman Torch because it used to be used to wick candles. Its leaves also make soft padded bandages that are almost as useful as lambs ear.
