This vid is very intriguing, Willpar :scratch: ! Had to check the daffodil/jonquil/narcissus and I think it qualifies as a narcissus, anyway, it's abso beautiful.
Also the pasqueflower (which is now rare so that's a brilliant find) and is right on time considering it's nearly Easter !!
Loved the unusual colours of the tulips, the very pale mauve is most interesting.
At 6.12, I thought it was a Allium but had to check the variety and I reckon it's an Allium siculum which you don't see every day of the week so that's a WOW.
And at last you've captured a real real wild primrose at 6.45. One of my favourite flowers. I just love them.
Another one !! Primula denticulata which I would guess is an escapee from a garden originally.
Wonderful vid. This is now pushing Jacksparrow for Meggle of The Month :)

Hi Placi, thank you for looking. Getting more and more flowers now. Most of the names you mention I had to look up as I never know them. The last primula, I don't think I have ever seen before, and a lovely ball shape. It was in fact in a garden that I passed, so I cant pass up the opportunity, as long as I don't trespass.

I enjoyed that Willpar. The part soundtrack supplied by the birds was lovely :nod: but the flypast by the RAF not so much :shake:

Wonderful to see the snake's-head Frit growing wild :clap:. Used to grow those on a rockery many moons ago but had to buy the plants !! They come in white too.
The fiddlehead fern could be a fresh addition to anyone's diet - fried in butter with mushrooms and garlic :yummy:. Not so sure about the hart's tongue fern though :shake:.
All very vibrant and bursting with life :banana:
