My first flowering plant of 2007 was Lamium purpureum Today.
I have not conciously gone out looking due to the awful weather. |

Thats an early one. We're 'sposed to be getting some colder weather soon. Wonder if that will have any effect. |

No it is not an early one as they do flower all year round. I found it on my allotment.

The ones outside my front 'garden' don't flower all year. They usually start coming up in April. I make a point of not letting my girlfreind go over them with the mower.  |

Daisies, dandelions, gorse never seem to stop flowering - the first peculiarity I've seen is Geum urbanum (wood avens?) been flowering at the edge of the wood for a week or two. |

Have had snowdrops out in flower since just after christmas and saw an Ornamental Cherry tree with some close to opening buds on my way to work this morning.
All of the bulbs in the garden have started growing and some are nearing the flowering stage (mainly daffs). |

I've got primroses in full bloom in my back garden. At work many of the wildlfowers are still in flower from last year - ox-eye daisy, mayweeds, and bramble....
Cheers,

Winter pansies coming into second flower. None of the bulbs are any further on than normal, which is strange considering the weather.
