Spring has come to my part of south Wales

[linda_joyce]

Here we count it officially spring when the first blue bells(Hyacinthoides non-scripta bloom

So here is the proof that spring has arrived




Milk maids AKA lady's smock (Cardamine pratensis)



Black thorn AKA Sloe (Prunus spinosa)





Celendine ( Ranunculus ficaria)


And brand new just out of the bud beech leaves.(Fagus sylvatica)




And lastly not one that is normally found around here but which I planted in my now fully naturalised pond some years ago

Water Buttercup AKA Giant Spearwort (Ranunculus Lingua Gandiflora)
