I'm starting to envy those more south than here, not a single flower out on the nature reserve I work on. Locals will see me grinning like a fool when the first one finally shows its petals  |

Still can't see any wildflowers locally, they're all buried under piles of snow. 
However, I went up to Chanonry Point on the Black Isle coast looking for Dolphins today, and I saw Gorse and Red Dead-nettles in flower.  The Red Dead-nettles were a bit frosted, but flowering.
I also saw some Dolphins. |

Down here we are now seeing carpets of flowers, i.e. Snowdrops, Daffodils and Celandines, rather than brave individuals that soon perish!
Lots of Heather around too, in all colours. |

I looked down the page and couldn't see any mention of coltsfoot. Any one seen any yet? |

Hi all,
About four fully-flowering Dandelion today along with a Chickweed about a mile away. Also my first-ever Yellow Crocus growing below the Snowdrops.
Take care, Jason  |
