WILDFLOWERS YOU HAVE SEEN WHILE OUT WALKING

Saw the first pf the wild cowslips out today. The wild primroses are late this year and only started last Thursday. Next will be the proper bluebells and the wild white asphodèles.

 

The first of the year

 

Comfrey.


Trachystemon Orientalis



Escaped Muscari


Corn Spurrey - tiny little flower. First time I've spotted this.



Ivy-leafed Speedwell



And the dandelions were everywhere, and really glowing in the sun.

 

We have Snakes Head Fritillary out in the garden, if it stops raining I'll get a picture

 

Yes I've spotted a couple, sadly only after I'd already trampled one whilst weeding.

 

Wood anemones

On my way to Carmarthen there's a bank, must be about 50 yds long, and it's full of Primroses. It would be difficult to find a space between them, it's a mass of yellow and looks wonderful in the sunshine.
I couldn't get a photo because it's along the busy A40 road but I always slow down to see them (much to the annoyance of cars racing up behind me but I don't care !)

 

Is that the bank near Pibwrlwyd @Michael Hewett ? It's wonderful isn't it!

 

No, it's on the A40 near Nantgaredig. The Primroses have been really good this year, and in my garden too there are big clumps of them.

 

@Michael Hewett Agree with you about the primroses this year. Our garden is full of them and we never planted any of them. In the dusk they seem to glow. They started flowering in December and they get better and better even after I harvested enough flowers for 4 demijons for primrose wine. They don't mind me pinching their flowers as they just keep producing more.
Saw our first clumps of cowslips on the embankments of the M27.

 

First of this year's native orchids in flower.
Early Spider (Logo of Dorset Wildlife Trust). Still fairly small.




Green Winged, some flowering at ground level with no stem yet.

 

Oh, I wont bother now, Yes I will.

 

Bilberries are in flower
