Growing from the moss on the top of a stone wall, a mouse-eared chickweed with flowers which seemed just about to open.

A dandelion in a front garden, probably as an interloper. On a cold and dull morning, it hadn’t opened.

Hawthorn flowers and flower buds in a hedge which must have a favourable position. The flowers open early every year,

Bluebells beginning to open a few days ago. These were in a front garden, so almost certainly Spanish bluebells.

Tulips in the Dutch Garden at the back of Bantock House late last month, as they were just beginning to open

Round the edge of the tiny pond at Bantock Park, the marsh marigolds were in full flower recently.
