Incredibly, on my local walk this week for #wildflowerhour, I notched up 27 species of plant in flower! It's still so mild here, there's plenty of floral delights to enjoy.
This collage shows my yellow flowers for #thewinter10 - I particularly loved this glorious Sun Spurge.

Another lovely #wildflowerhour tonight, it’s wonderful to see so many of you enjoying #thewinter10, our challenge for the coldest months! It’s surprising what you can find if you go to look! 👀 See you all again next Sunday! ☺️

Rounding off my #wildflowerhour contribution this week with my final 7 flowers for #thewinter10 are:
Wall Barley, Cocksfoot, and Annual Meadow Grass.
Plus, Scarlet Pimpernel, Herb Robert, Red Dead-nettle and what I think is Nettle-leaved Goosefoot.
And a bonus picture of fantastic Teasel heads.
