Snake's-head Fritillary (Fritillaria meleagris); Frenchay Hospital nature reserve, 21st March



Winter Savory (Satureja montana); Mells Manor, Somerset, 20th March (This is supposedly the only site in the UK for this species, where they've been established for over a hundred years, but that spell of freezing weather looks to have hit this Mediterranean introduction hard - a few new shoots was all that was on offer!)



Winter Heliotrope (Petasites fragrans); Bristol Suspension Bridge, March 14th



Wrinkled Viburnum (Viburnum rhytidophyllum); Stoke Park woods, Pur Down, 25th March



Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa); Stoke Park woods, Pur Down, 25th March

And, lastly...



Peach (Prunus persica); New Avon Cut, Bristol city centre, 30th March!!
