The first few flowers are appearing on the carpet of naturalised spring sowbread, Cyclamen repandum, in St James churchyard, and clearance work on a nearby road verge has exposed several patches of beautifully marked sowbread, Cyclamen hederifolium, leaves

#TheWinter10 for #WildFlowerHour from local roads and St James churchyard, TW12 including my first sweet violet 💜 and primrose 💛 of the year. It feels as though the new year's flowers are finally starting - just before the chilly shock

My first lesser celandine (Ranunculus ficaria, syn. Ficaria verna) flower of the year. Okay, so the flowers aren't open, but I had to share for #wildflowerhour
