These found yesterday, 6th March, on/near banks of River Ribble, in Brungerley Bridge Area, Clitheroe.
Lesser Celandine ......... Alternate-leaved Golden Saxifrage  
White Butterbur (Still in flower KT, but you'd better be quick if you want to see it, most of the flowers are now beyond their prime. This was about the best of what is left). 
Regards
Mike.

My flower of the day has to be my fav the snowdrop. They are very late this year but more than welcome. Strangely there is two small lone purple iris growing with them. Where could they have come from? Still, they make a fine contrast with the white 'drops. |
