Wondrous Wildflowers (Natalie, Exeter)
“I think this is a pretty lovely example of biodiversity for Biodiversity Day – it was absolutely humming with pollinators and other insects! Would love to see more wildflower planting & wild verges.”
– dazzing! Here’s a study on wildflower meadows suggesting perennials + early-flowering weeds (inc. dandelions) are especially good for pollen + nectar: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0158117 with a nice summary here by the Scottish Wildlife Trust: https://scottishwildlifetrust.org.uk/news/researchers-reveal-the-flower-power-in-urban-wildflower-meadows/
