Sarracenia purpurea and its buddies are just hanging around waiting until it's warm enough to go outside.

A close-up view of a carnivorous Purple Pitcher Plant in a black pot, with vibrant green leaves and red veining. The plant is situated near a window, surrounded by moss, with additional pitcher plants visible in the background. Sunlight illuminates the plants.

The image depicts a cactus plant with several white flowers in various stages of bloom. The cactus has tall, green, ribbed stems with numerous spines, and the flowers are large, with white petals and yellow centers. There are four fully bloomed flowers and two buds, one of which is partially open. The background is a dark, textured surface that contrasts with the cactus and flowers, highlighting their details. The overall composition is vertical, with the flowers and buds positioned at different heights along the cactus stems. The painting style is realistic, with careful attention to the textures and colors of the plant and flowers.

Colour photo. We're down near ground level looking up at big group of columbine flowers, some intense pink, some blue-purple, with many more behind them, varying pinks and violet-purples. The sky is pale spring blue and there are vibrant green leafy trees in the background.

My overall favourite find of the week, I think. Greater Celandine in #London yesterday. Specifically, by a gate-post leading to a car park at London Welsh RFC. Who says I never post Welsh content on the Welsh Mastodon?? #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A spike of 3 yellow flowers each with 4 petals and looking a bit like small poppy flowers.

The best of my finds from #Bristol during the week, Cornsalad growing in a bare road verge near Temple Meads. No, I can't tell you exactly which exact species of Cornsalad it is. I'll try to remember to go back and have a look when it's got seeds. #WildflowerHour #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

A plant with lots of tiny grey-blue flowers.

One of my favourite times of the year: when the trees start to turn green and everything is in bloom at the edge of the forest and in the Streuobst-Wiesen.

A group of ancient trees in a meadow in the sunshine and under an immaculate deep blue sky. In the background, yet unleafy copper beeches, around a hundred years old. A tall birch tree gets its first spring green. On the right, slightly in the foreground, an old cherry tree in full bloom. The very small trees at the left are about 60 years old.

Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) doing its strange cauliflory thing. I planted three in my front yard and for the next several weeks people will stop in awe and ask what species it is. When possible, I try to have small potted seedlings on hand to give to them. #trees #swarthmore #redbud #fabaceae #botany #cercis #cauliflory

Cluster of pink, elongate buds radiating from a small spot on the trunk of a tree.

If you are into Botany, and like to eat them plants, the attempt of "Weird Explorer" to eat all the fruits, and document it in video, may be interesting to you. (I retootet a video of him about nutmeg a while ago.)
