From 29 December to 1 January don’t be surprised if you see people taking photos of blooming wildflowers, puzzling over pictures in ID books, scratching their heads over the differences between one plant species and another. We are the New Year Plant Hunters, doing our best to find and identify as many wildflowers in bloom as possible throughout Britain to help the BSBI (Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland) keep track of what’s happening in the botanical world around us. And you can join in. Go for a walk, list what you find and submit your list on the BSBI website. So, for day 6 of my #7DaysofWildChristmas, I took myself on a walk around Penarth and was delighted to find these 27 species in bloom.
That’s an impressive haul of flowers!

If I could walk for longer than five minutes, I would be out there looking with the best of them. As it is, I shall enjoy your discoveries, vicariously.

Nice! I haven’t seen any of those yet, though I did see my first Primrose at the cemetery the other day. 🙂
