Re t...That's a cracking shot of the primroses.<br /><br />Re the coltsfoot, I imagine it is like bulbs - allows the plant to get up and flower/seed quickly in the spring before being shaded out. It must be temperature rather than daylight triggered - which makes sense if it is insect-pollinated.<br /><br />The best our temperatures made was 9° yesterday, with warm sunshine, but it's back to about 4° with uniform cloud cover and a bitter E wind again today. I did hear a chiffchaff for the first time yesterday but fear for its chances of finding anything to eat.Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15736035484977149890noreply@blogger.com
