Tree of the week: an old oak on a Gloucestershire lane. Endless rain and grey skies, not much wildlife about, but possibly the best time of year to admire old trees in the landscape?

Some white celandines among the prolific yellow in Gloucestershire at the moment. I know there are white cultivars, but given where these were, I think they might be natural variants. Please could I could ask #wildflowerID if that is likely? #wildflowerhour

A sudden profusion of dog violets in these Gloucestershire woods - near where several big beech trees were slain by fierce winter storms - perhaps a response to more light reaching the woodland floor? #wildflowerhour
