Coltsfoot

These leaves are all that remains of our patch of coltsfoot, under a young oak tree near post 7 at the viewpoint.  

They will disappear before the flowers appear briefly in March like pale dandelions.  So briefly that I usually miss them - this photo was taken in Woodchester Park.  

To be followed by fluffy seed heads in May - here again rather elusive  

but I caught these in Perthshire.

Check now for those tattered leaves under the oak tree, so you know where to look for the flowers in March.
