A flowering white violet …
… a purple one …
… and a lesser celandine.
Leaves of violets (above) and violets together with cranesbill and lesser celandines (below) showing no signs of flowering.
The flowers were pictured in south Devon over a month ago. The leaves are of plants growing at a favoured spot by the canal near Castlecroft in the last few days. The southern plants are five or perhaps even six weeks more advanced than their midlands counterparts.
The violets are a different species.
