I’m a bit late to the party but last Wednesday, 21 February, was Celandine Day, so named, according to the PlantLife website, ‘since 1795, when the renowned naturalist Gilbert White noted that the first celandines usually appeared in his Hampshire village of Selborne’. The date for the appearance of the first blooms has changed rather a lot in the intervening 229 years but these gorgeous wildflowers are still worth celebrating, I think.
