I suffer with SAD & this winter’s bad but I’m thankful for things that get me out for some light. Thanks Hamamelis, Daphne, Galanthus, #NewYearPlantHunt , necrobotany, ferns, swelling buds, clear skies, botany friends & knowing spring will come one day. Not resorted to birding yet
#wildflowerhour No new flowers this week to add to my #newyearplanthunt finds - but the Hazels continue to be the stars around here #severnvale
Apart from a Daisy, we found a total of 7 flowering plants; White- and Red-dead nettle, Groundsel, Hazel (so tiny!), Ragwort and Viburnum (smells exquisite) #NewYearPlantHunt #wildflowerhour
Marsh Marigold on todays #NewYearPlantHunt list. Lollycocks Field Local Nature Reserve, Sleaford, Lincolnshire.
Great day for the #NewYearPlantHunt in Limerick! My Group Hunt around the King John's Castle Area recorded 43 species in flower. Sylvia Reynolds, past VCR for Limerick also joined us! Also, another group recorded 57 species in the Raheen area, and a list of 8 in Castletroy!

Gorse on Gear Sands brightening up a rather grey new year’s morning in Cornwall. Other than the gorse and an occasional daisy nothing else to report unfortunately! BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland #NewYearPlantHunt
A scout around the garden this morning presented me with the opportunity to look for tiny, pinky red anemone-like Hazel flowers... #NewYearPlantHunt
Beautiful, bright flowering whins in a hedgerow on an old laneway, and lesser celandine on a ditch bank of a field in stubble ~ 31st December 2023 ~ near Barnaby's Sands NR, Lancashire 💛 #NewYearPlantHunt
A bright frosty morning in Glengarriff Woods Nature Reserve with 19 species found in flower (about half the number of previous years). #NewYearPlantHunt
Well done Mary and co! 7 participants recorded 29 species in flower around the very flooded Muckross Peninsula- incl the obligatory Strawberry Tree (Arbutus unedo). The weather held up as well! Gutted to have missed it, well done guys, great job!🥰

Slim pickings in Barmouth today for #Wildflowerhour but this Ivy leaved toadflax looks good on display. #NewYearPlantHunt
#WildflowerHour #NewYearPlantHunt 2023, the results from Wivenhoe, north Essex, with a keen group of 15: just over half the species in flower compared with the equivalent date/route last year. Highlight probably White Ramping Fumitory...1/2
Amongst the blurry #NewYearPlantHunt pictures of wind blown, half finished, not quite open #WildFlowerHour flowers taken today, this was probably my best effort. Female Hazel flowers and unopened male catkins, Lincolnshire
Started 2024 the right way with a morning #NewYearPlantHunt and found 16 plants with open flowers along a road verge in TW12/TW2...
Lesser Celandine from 2 Jan for #wildflowerhour in East Berkshire (also submitted to #NewYearPlantHunt ). Photo might have been less blurry if I wasn't contending with Storm Henk! Anyway, a flower with the hope of spring to come :)
Just a couple of species spotted in flower on this morning's walk around Holywell, Northumberland. White dead-nettle and Gorse (of course). #NewYearPlantHunt BSBI: Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland
