Sea kale on the shingle of Monmouth beach, Lyme Regis, this afternoon. Such a sweet honey scent, especially noticeable as there was barely a breath of wind. #WildflowerHour

Catching my eye in Gloucestershire’s Lower Woods last week, too.

Interesting. I haven’t heard that name before.

A whole frame full of wildflowers for #wildflowerhour: dandelions, red dead-nettle, speedwell, shepherd’s purse, common chickweed and hairy bittercress. Yesterday in a Gloucestershire field.

A patch of low-growing wildflowers in a grassy field: four dandelions, red dead-nettle, speedwell, shepherd’s purse, common chickweed and hairy bittercress.

Wow, I’ve only ever seen one slow worm at a time. I discovered some great wood ants’ nests in the New Forest this morning, and have the bites to prove it! I wonder how the ants react to so many slow worms on their patch?

A mighty dandelion in a Gloucestershire field this week. #signsofspring #wildflowerhour

Wow! Ours (Gloucestershire) are not quite there yet - just a few very bedraggled ones.

Beautiful Green Hellebore, Helleborus viridis, in woodland on the edge of Croydon. 💚 It is a member of the Ranunculaceae, the Buttercup family. What look like green petals are in fact sepals, and the petals themselves are reduced to small tubular nectaries (visible in third photo). #WildflowerHour

Hazel catkins and one tiny, red female flower, in a rare moment earlier this week when it wasn’t raining and the air was still. #Gloucestershire #wildflowerhour

Close up of yellow hazel catkins, with lots of out of focus catkins in the background, and a tiny, red female flower on the supporting twig.

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?

Impressed with your pristine celandine. I’ve spotted a few in Gloucestershire this week, but all very battered!
