Pignut (Conopodium majus) is beginning to flower
Next door's ornamental cherry is in blossom and hanging over into our garden
Spears of Pyramidal Bugle (Ajuga pyramidalis) are shooting up
Ajuga pyramidalis from above
Liverwort and moss growing together on an old tile under one of the companionway steps.
I think the liverwort is Pellia epiphylla (dead common round here) and the moss is, I think, Common Feather-moss (Kindbergia praelonga/Eurynthium praelongum)

Here the gardener is attempting to be arty with violets.
She is not sure she has succeeded, but the colour is nice.
Wood sorrel beginning to flower on the north-east facing front garden wall
Shoots of Solomon's Seal in front of a rotting trunk in the lane
The weight of ivy and winter gales brought the top half of the old trunk down
which benefited the roe deer as they could eat the youngest ivy leaves
Herb Bennet (Geum urbanum) leaves
Herb Robert (Geranium purpureum) leaves
and Hawthorn almost ready to flower
The weight of ivy also weighed down that hawthorn tree but it is still thriving
even bent right over to the ground
A mass of tree trunks and ivy trunks
And lastly, for now, the fallen wild cherry is still flowering away, though when the wind picks up we have cherry petal snow
Thus
You can see in that picture, if you enlarge it by clicking on it, just how much of our upper lawn is pignut.
