First sighting of a lesser celandine in flower on 29 January; now mid-April there are sheets, especially in the Woodland
Comfrey in flower by the path rising up from the Cliff going into the Woodland.
One lone wood anemone seen in the Woodland, a first sighting of bulbs planted there 4-5 years ago; they are well known to take time to establish!
The yellow rattle seeds which were planted in the Meadow area last autumn have come up and can be seen at the end nearest the skate park. We hope that the short yellow flowers will spread, and in time, will help to keep down the long grasses, which will in turn encourage other flowers to grow.
