The first Colt's-foot is an annual botanical highlight for me.
It's distribution is fairly stable overall but has been lost from farmland where it used to thrive amongst the messy edges. It often does well on #brownfield sites.

Green Snowdrop, Galanthus woronowii, was a new hectad record on a walk today!

It was growing mixed with G. nivalis, but no sign of hybrids. A population to keep an eye on.

Nothing says "I Love You" better than two bouquets of Tesco's flowers and a £1 card.

I saw at least five blokes buying these this morning.

Sunshine and frost this morning in east Kent.

Have been to the gym and Tesco.
