Here are some of the signs of spring I have seen over this last weekend:
Lesser Celandines (Ficaria verna) and Coltsfoot (Tussilago fafara). The celandine was one of my mother's favourite flowers. Both are very late in flowering this year.
A skylark in the country park.
The first butterfly seen on my walk to the shops.
The first bumblebee and ladybird seen on the allotment.
Wafting over to us on the plot, the scent of the first barbecue of the year.
Our 'rescued' daffodils in flower - which now turn out to be some very prettily ornamented narcissi.
Seeds germinating at last in the greenhouse under cover - leeks and cauliflowers.
Sunlight.
