    Sky is totally clear here now and 15c, the wind is still a bit noticeable but not bad, would be nice if the wind was to stick around overnight and keep the frost away but I'm betting it will totally drop once the sun goes down.

    Yes it is parasitic on mainly hazel and alder but can be on the roots of other trees. The flowering part that @Adam l photographed is the only part of the plant seen above ground and comes up in April/May so @Adam l was very lucky to see it but then so many plants are flowering earlier than usual.

    Lack of Knowledge, trying to do a project!!

    I'd be very careful of the vinca as @CarolineL says. Whilst the v major is the worst, the v minor will also spread rapidly. Are you keeping all of the lawn shown in your photo ? If so, there isn't a lot of space left for plants. Either way, violets, ferns, spring bulbs may be worth considering.
