Good morning ☕️
The bluebells are really thriving at the moment, there were even some lesser celandine growing in amongst them as well, making a nice contrast. Have a wonderful start to the week everyone 💜💙🌿

‘You can never hold back spring
you can be sure
I will never stop believing
the blushing rose that will climb
spring ahead or fall behind
winter dreams the same dream every time
baby you can never hold back spring…’

Lesser Celandine for todays #SundayYellow. Charming and cheerful, they really brighten up any woodland floor. As the flower ages, the shiny yellow pigment fades away, revealing white starch grains underneath 💛🍃

Lesser Celandine wildflowers. The top photo shows the petals fading to white because as the flower ages, the shiny yellow pigment can fade away, revealing the white starch grains underneath.

Early Spring in Yellow

This photograph captures the delicate beauty of Ficaria verna (syn. Ranunculus ficaria), commonly known as Lesser Celandine or Pilewort—a low-growing perennial from the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). The image shows a cluster of radiant yellow, star-shaped flowers surrounded by lush, heart-shaped green leaves. The central bloom is wide open, its petals glistening in natural light and revealing a bright cluster of stamens at the center, while nearby buds remain closed, their tips shaded with soft brown and gold tones. These flowers respond tenderly to sunlight, opening in its warmth and closing when the sky dims, embodying the quiet rhythm of early spring. Around them, tiny purple blossoms and fine, fuzzy stems add gentle contrast, enriching the frame with layers of texture and life. The overall feeling is one of renewal, light, and the soft awakening of nature after winter. A subtle watermark “©ahaktekin” is visible in the lower left corner.

Please try to remember that crocus & snowdrops & the vast variety of hybrid daffodils, pretty though they are, are not the real spring markers of our UK native flora ..
these are ..
