Primrose species
Although its not a 'wild' primrose, i thought i'd add this as two plants have popped up in my friends garden, which i think are self seeded garden escapees. I think they are a hybrid species of primrose, Primula x pruhoniciana, which although 'domestic' are still rather nice!
Brackenhurst and Clifton 26th March
Had a walk around brackenhurst after handing my uni dissertation. There were a few flowers popping up here and there, most noticeably more Dog's Mercury.
At sheepwalks pond there was some Coltsfoot in flower
As well as some Daisies which looked nice growing near the coltsfoot
In Clifton in the afternoon, there were a few flowers in the village. This bed of Groundsel, Red dead nettle and Common chickweed looked quite nice i think
I also found my first Sweet Violet of the year

Brackenhurst 18th March
More common chickweed seen today, seems to be everywhere, definately one of the more dominant early flowering species. also seen on alfreton road.
Dogs mercury was also seen in wooded areas
Hazel was in flower too, in abundance across the Brackenhurst estate, although this species has been flowering for around 6 weeks now.

There were a good few flowers coming up at clifton wood today as well as in the surrounding farmland. a lot of vegetation was emerging on the woodland floor, with LOADS of arum maculatum leaves about, should look nice in flower. lots of cultivated crocuses and snowdrops were seen in the village too.

March flowers
Some more flowers popping up around and about but no true wild ones really, seen lots of snowdrops about and there are a lot of crocuses popping up EVERYWHERE. don't really know the species as a lot are introduced/planted varieties, but its giving the landscape a nice springy feel.
Went to bristol for the weekend the other day and found a lot of Primrose growing in the city, as well as around Cheddar, which was nice to see, as well as some butchers broom still with berries on.
