An imperfectly perfect Common Dog-violet (Viola riviniana). The first one I've seen after the Early Dog-violets. I love the purple, branched veining on the petal. Local Wildlife Site, Hertfordshire.

The ancient woodland indicator species Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa). Spreads slowly, via underground rhizomes, by about 2.5 cm per year.

The trouble with studying botany is ‘Ooh, look pretty Bluebells’, is replaced with a sinking feeling as you see Spanish Bluebells, Hyacinthoides hispanica, dominating the local woods.
Hope to find native Bluebells, Hyacinthoides non-scripta today

The ancient woodland indicator Wood-Sorrel (Oxalis acetosella). In Gabrielle Hatfield's wonderful 'Hatfield's Herbal', she describes how the three-lobed leaves fold up at night & in bad weather, giving its name of 'sleeping beauty' in Dorset.
