A lovely pinkish Sweet Violet. I've seen this colour elsewhere but this is the first one I've seen locally, Plumpton, East Sussex #wildflowerhour

Periwinkle, naturalised in local woodland. I'm not too fond of it in the wild as it can be invasive, but I liked this image, with moss and bark in the background #wildflowerhour

No petals, but the yellow anthers on these male catkins, gave a yellow haze to this willow tree. Standing underneath to take photos, the canopy above was humming with bees #yellowflowers #wildflowerhour

Thanks Dave. I’ve never looked that closely at the meadow grasses but will give it a go!

Thank you! It’s difficult to get good photos as the flowers are so small and the woodland is so dark. But the winter sun was low enough yesterday to shine through the tree trunks and illuminate this little clump
