Apple Blossom, Kenworthy Wood<\/p>\n

A few photo’s from earlier this month as the local woodland bursts back into life.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Few flowered Leek – native to the mountains of Iran a rather curious plant that has joined an ever increasing list of invasive, not native species.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The familiar and widespread Wood Anemone<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Dog Violet. An important food plant of the Pearl Bordered Fritillary ( ever the optimist – \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

White Dead Nettle<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

More apple blossom<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Primrose, perhaps the most familiar of our native woodland species.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mica Ink Caps growing around the base of a rotten stump.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lesser Celandine – another widespread species and source of food for pollen beetles.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another Wood Anemone – surprising to see the variability within plants growing literally adjacent to each other.<\/p>\n
