Solomon’s Seal (Polygonatum multiforum) is now flowering in great profusion in the local woods. This is the wild variety and not one of the many cultivated varieties. With all the recent rains and slightly warmer weather there are many wild flower varieties starting to flower.
I found this early purple orchid next to a path near the Sustainability Centre. Spring is finally arriving.
There is a very good show of bluebells in Hen Wood, next to Horsedown Farm at the moment.
First swallow of 2023 sighted in Coombe Road today 15 April. Last years first sighting was on 21 April.
