Plantlife: one man went to mow … but maybe he should wait
Lawns that are only cut once a month can give low-growing plants a chance to flower, letting insects thriveLawn mowers are back in action now that June is wet and the grass is growing again afterthe spring drought, but it ’s worth mowing less often to let wildflowers and their insect pollinators thrive.A survey by volunteers for the charity Plantlife found that 80% of lawns supported the equivalent of about 400 bees a day, attracted to nectar –rich flowers.

Plantwatch: What is that wildflower? And why don't we know?
Few can identify our common plants amid a lack of education and more focus on animals and birds on natural history showsHow many people know our common wildflowers? The charityPlantlife commissioned a poll by YouGov two years ago to find out if people could identify wildflowers and discovered a shocking lack of knowledge.

Name that wildflower
Hardly any British children can identify a red clover, and few students take plant science for a first degree. The charity Plantlife is determined to change thatThe summer flowers are in bloom, but a recent survey of 2,000 people found that 80% didn ’t know a common dog violet, even though it’s found across nearly the whole UK.

Plantwatch: Roadside wonders
Roadside verges are one of our great wild plant refuges. They are only narrow strips of land, but verges along our major roads total an area the size of the Isle of Wight. And they provide a home to more than 700 species of plants, almost half the native flora of Britain, with some of the last habitats left for many wild flowers, especially meadow plants – which is why the charity Plantlife is campaigning to get verges looked after better to encourage these wild plants.Many of the roadside plants are flowering now, such as the familiar red clover, common buttercup, brilliant white oxeye daisy and the tall rosebay willowh...

There are over 300 plants that have oestrogens in them and if they are consumed regularly enough they can have a mild effect on women. The most potent of the plant oestrogens is Coumestrol even though it is about 200 times weaker than human oestrogen.
