I found this leaf up by the viewpoint a week or two ago. It's a bit like the shape of a horse's hoof.
That's why it's called Coltsfoot. In fact there were a whole lot of them.
Every year I try to catch the flowers in March before they droop and go to seed. I just managed to get this half blown seed head
I saw these in March 2012
They're a bit like dandelions but with a yellow disc in the middle like a daisy
Then they droop for a bit like these I spotted in Scotland last April (all the pictures below are from Scotland).
You can tell it's not a dandelion because the stalk has scale leaves on it while a dandelion stalk is bare.
They eventually stand up again with a fluffy seed head.
They're one of the earliest spring flowers, not amazing but I'd just like to see them in flower.
