The snakeshead fritillary was brought to England from France in the 1570s, and as botanical historian Mark Griffiths says: "It was a sensational horticultural novelty, people were very excited. It was as hot as an equatorial orchid would have been to the Victorian sensibility."
18M people took to gardening in the US due to the pandemic; in Britain, 65% of adults took up gardening. This painting by Édouard John Menta would look fabulous on your wall if you're one of the new horticultural hobbyists or you're a gardening guru: https://t.co/F0sE3WBTRr

🍄This is a fungus, also known as mould, that destroys fruit and horticultural crops.
🧐But sometimes it is sought instead to encourage the appearance of botrytis!

Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen.
The birth flower for 12 July is the rhododendron.
In the language of flowers it means 'majestic, vigilant, watchful, dangerous, majestic, beware'.
There are many species, both wild and horticultural.
Have a nice day🌸
Basil does his utmost to help collect plant samples for his horticulturalist partner, but he doesn’t know what he’s doing so he usually ends up bringing home common weeds…. hence the dandelion.

Sir Joseph Paxton, one of Britain’s best-known gardeners and architects, began his career in 1823 as a labourer at the Horticultural Society’s gardens at @Chiswick_House. He falsified his age by 2 years, implying extra schooling. https://t.co/8p6FhFHai7 #NationalGardeningWeek
