The Wild Flower Society is run by volunteers. If our Twitter feed is quiet, our Facebook group facebook.com/groups/41021887… is usually livelier, with lots of plant photos and discussions.

Day two of our members' weekend, and it would take more than a spot of British weather to stop this intrepid band of botanists! Lots of aquatic plants and ferns today, including the impressive Royal fern (hand for scale!)
