Lizard Orchid (Himantoglossum hircinum) at Berrow, Somerset. This species is on the edge of its range here in Britain, but appears to be expanding its range, potentially in response to climate change. This one was growing on a sand dune near a golf course and was around 30-40cm high, but they sometimes also grow on road verges, and can reach heights of 90cm.

Some variety of cornsalad, on a wall. Quite a lot of it, round and about, right now. One has appeared in our front garden as well.

This is simultaneously something I've seen many many times (in gardens) and never in my life (in the wild). It appears to be a perfectly normal Broad Bean, except it's not in an allotment or anywhere near one - it was by the pitch at Henley rugby ground. I wonder how it got there. #WildflowerHour #Oxfordshire #Bloomscrolling #botany #plants #flowers #wildflowers #photography

On the very windy Purbeck hilltop above the wood, a number of Early Purple-orchids struggling to grow vertically.

Highlight of our #wildflower searching this week were a few of the first flowers of Early Spider-orchid on the Purbeck coast. Very many more rosettes, spikes and buds yet to open up, so it was exciting to finally find a few flowers. This time last week, we couldn't find any. Soon there will be thousands.

This time of year it is such a delight to see the return of familiar flowers. First returners this week: comfrey and wild carrot.

Blackthorn, I think (the sepals clasping the petals, rather than curling away from them)

Lesser celandines starting to flower in Dorset this week, glossy yellow like buttercups (which are closely related). Different number of petals on these two.

I almost never bother looking at daisies, but this only-slightly-bedraggled one was putting on a brave show. I was also quite pleased with the phone camera (which is nothing fancy but it came out not too badly)

A bit mizzy again on our walk today, but various small flowers were getting ready for spring. Here's some budding Bird's-eye (Veronica Persica)
