Zooming in on the marsh marigold flowers from the recent post.
Closer views of the blackthorn featured in the post a couple of days ago. Buds had not yet opened on some of the shadier stretches of the hedge – they had opened on the following day.

Early spring flowers: blackthorn hedge
All along the edge of the Barley Field separating it from the Railway Walk, a blackthorn hedge which is covered in tiny white flowers before the leaves arrive each spring.
White campion growing, and flowering, in the fairly tokenistic planter area outside the Wolverhampton railway station car park.
Growing from the moss on the top of a stone wall, a mouse-eared chickweed with flowers which seemed just about to open.
