Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) - Nature Diary - 2nd April 2022.

 CHECK FULL BLOG INDEX BELOW (SCROLL DOWN)

It is seen plentiful in the woodland areas especially and sometimes intermingled with Sweet Woodruff and Bluebells.  Occasionally you may even be lucky enough to spot it on the open pavements were it has established itself in shallow grykes. And what a spectacular sight it can be just like the photos I have taken below.

Below are some early May 2021 petal variations.  Not common although with thorough searching of woodland floors there is every chance to see them ranging in all shades between white and purple and all in between.
