Anyone who is familiar with the running wave will know that I LOVE wild flowers. They have always been a passion of mine, ever since I was a little girl. I am a longstanding member of the UK wild plant charity Plantlife and so I am using this post to highlight a heartbreaking event in the world of wild flowers. I am posting a link here to an article in Plantlife's latest newsletter https://www.plantlife.org.uk/uk/blog/road-verge-disaster-17000-orchids-gone-in-one-day
Please read the article, weep for the beautiful orchids and everything else that has been wiped out along that precious stretch of ground in Kent, and then PLEASE sign Plantlife's petition to UK county councils, requesting that they address the issue of maintaining the roadside verges in a responsible way, in order to secure the biodiversity of our landscape. This is such an important matter, and ultimately something that affects all of us and our increasingly ravaged planet.
