Woodland flora is great in Spring. It's all starting to come into bloom right now that the warmth of Summer has arrived. Carpets of various flowers fill the woodland floors. Look out for some of the commoner usual species this week, such as the following (these pictures are taken on my iphone hence the lack in quality): 


Lesser Celandine

Wood anemone

Lords and Ladies

Dog violet

Dog's mercury


Also what else was nice to find was a small collection of flowering Snakes-head fritillary plants in the middle of Preston. These particular plants are no doubt self-sown plants from a garden variety however in the setting i found them and not actually having any wild ones up in Lancs they still proved a nice treat to find on my bike ride in the busy centre of Preston.
