It's always re-assuring to see the first signs of spring flowers. I spotted these today at Filnore Woods.
Bluebell leaves gathering strength from the sunlight to produce next year's flowers. This year's flowers are already waiting in embryonic form under ground.
The ferny leaves of Cow Parsley or Queen Anne's Lace. This flower can thrive in the open or in the dappled shade of woodland.
The arrowhead leaves of Wild Arum are among the first to appear on the woodland floor.
They are also very prolific, growing everywhere. One of our commonest woodland plants.
The flowers appear in April . . .
. . . and give rise to clusters of berries in August
