A new #toadflax endemic to Almada (#Portugal) !!!
A new species, Linaria almadensis, has been described from the cliffs of Gargalo do Tejo, in Almada, just across from Lisbon. Although first collected in 1843, it was only recently recognized as distinct by João Farminhão during a taxonomic revision.

Toadflax is a #native #perennial #antirrhinum ( #snapdragon ). The yellow variety has larger #flowers than the more upright #purple & #pink varieties. All are self-seeding & popular with #insects

Two Sylvanian Families babies are sitting on a narrow ledge formed from large old stone. Toadflax wildflower grows along the ledge around them with one tendrils trailing down over the edge. The leaves are roundish with notched edges. The largest have five lobes, the smallest, at the ends of crawling and draping tendrils, have three lobes. The Sylvanians are Pickle, a grey striped cat baby, on the left, and a tiny cradled black cat baby. It's Reggie!
Still warm enough to enjoy a rest outdoors!
This is a break from searching for shiny treasures again. This time we are searching for CHRISTMAS SHINIES!

Against the backdrop of the brown leaves of the walnut tree lying in the tall grass, and in the twilight shortly after a December sunset, a remaining toadflax flower shines brightly. The blossom glows white, while the background is a diffuse blend of blurred, brown autumn foliage, parts of the plant, grass, and darkness.
Sunset? Autumn? December?
I don’t care.
My light still shines!

#Toadflax. Lit. cuckoo’s spur, #LinariaSpp. Two species common to Estonia: harilik käokannus, common toadflax or ‘butter-and-eggs’, #LVulgaris, and joonik käokannus, pale toadflax, #LRepens, both, oddly, also known as common #chaenorhinum.
Toadflax flowers still going in November.
#Toadflax still giving it what for in the garden. I assume the seeds from the other plants mean I get a good showing next year.

Full illustration and detail of cut to white illustration of #Purpletoadflax Linaria purpurea, showing flowring stem with deep purple flowers. vegetative stem with yellowish top and blueinsh lower leaves, and a close up of the distinctively shaped bilateral and lobed purple flowers.
This is Purple #toadflax #Linaria purpurea, it's a common enough plant, but one that benefits from a closer look.
Like most wild flowers, the closer you look, the more amazing details and structure, not to mention nuances of colour, you see.

Went for a walk to where the fires raged this summer in Wanstead Flats. Happy to see new growth: toadflax, ragwort and yarrow, which together sound like a line from an olde English fairy tale.

Beautiful flower, homely name: Yellow Toadflax! (Seen by Target at the Trumbull Mall on my walk this morning.)

Wild walk today. Common #Toadflax growing in a lovely wildflower scrubby copse, spotted a whitethroat #bird flitting in amongst it, as I turned corner a stunning #RedSquirrel ran across trail path scurrying up into the safety of Scot’s pine canopy. Don’t know who was more surprised- them or us 🤎🧡🥰.

Common Carder Bee on the flowers of the Common Toadflax plant in my garden 8/8/2025 #insects #Bees #CarderBee #Toadflax #mygarden #wildlifegarden #nature #CheshireUK
Though considered an invasive weed, Toadflax flowers are certainly attractive. Similar in structure to Snapdragons, these smaller flowers are two-toned, and each feature butter-yellow upper petals, an orange lower lip, and a straight spur. They are borne on racemes above narrow, pointed green leaves.
Weer zo'n kleine mooierd vanmiddag bij Paasloo langs de weg: het Vlasbekje of Vlasleeuwenbek. Lichtgele buitenbladen aan de bloem met grote bijna okergele binnenkant. De Engelse benaming is ook weer een feestje: de Common Toadflax of Butter-and-Eggs.

Das Bild zeigt eine Gruppe gelber Blüten, die auf einem felsigen Strand wachsen. Im Hintergrund ist das Meer zu sehen, der Himmel ist bewölkt. Die Szene wirkt ruhig und natürlich. Die Blüten stehen im Vordergrund und sind scharf abgebildet, während der Hintergrund etwas unscharf ist, was die Aufmerksamkeit auf die Blüten lenkt.
Es blüht am Meer! ⚓️🌼🌊 - Es blüht an der Ostseeküste! ⚓️🌼🌊

I love our "cottage garden" plants because they attract so many beautiful insects. I could sit & watch them for hours. Trying to get them to stand & pose was an art in itself 😉

A close-up of the flat top of a stone wall with a heap of curling toadflax vines with rounded five-pointed leaves of varying sizes and tiny purple and yellow flowers in a bedraggled looking heap on one side. On the other side are two Sylvanian Families babies. On the right, with a hand raised to their mouth as they look at the tangled pile, is Pickle, a grey striped cat baby in a blue and pink explorer outfit and blue shoes with a white necktie. On the left edging into the viney plant, is a tiny cradled black cat baby in a long green wrap with high collar. It's Reggie!
Oh no! The way is blocked!

Flowers are growing lots. But I think i can see a way through. Sometimes it's good being so small ^-^

Some #Toadflax #wildflowers from my #morning walk, before the heat becomes to much for me.
Photo of a toadflax moth caterpillar on the flower of an otherwise bare toadflax plant. The caterpillar is black with pale green bands across its back, with yellow stripes lengthways down its back. The plant is a spike stripped of leaves with a cluster of purple flowers at the top. The flowers look like they’ve been nibbled as well.
I took a picture of a caterpillar and used my phone to identify it. It got it bang on.
It’s the caterpillar of a toadflax moth on a toadflax plant that it has stripped most of the leaves off.
How satisfying.

OK, not quite tiny #tinyjoys, but plants that are far smaller than usual due to growing in cracks in the patio. #Toadflax from just now, and #Columbine from earlier in the year 😀
The rain's stopped and it's brightened up enough for me to take a few photos of our "cottage style" garden flowers. I love their colours and profusion of blossoms 😍
