Flower of the Day for a year - a Challenge!

[mcdood]

Plum tree on allotment

[Chrissyteacup]

I should know what this is but can’t for the life of me think

Forsythia

A pretty ground covering plant

Hellebore

[roitelet]

Flowering currant or Ribes, Chrissy and your blue ground cover plant is Periwinkle or Vinca minor.

My flower for today is Viola Cornuta, self sown.

[veggiechicken]

The first is a flowering currant and the third is Vinca/Periwinkle. Snap, roitelet!!

My flower is Allium Triquetrum - Three cornered leek. Attractive, edible but invasive.

[Chrissyteacup]

Thanks both of you!
I know there probably not much of a challenge for you guys!

Ribes today

[Mark_Riga]

The only flower on a camelia, well 1 flower between 2 camelias.



The last clump of 37years+ old daffs to flower.



and a gooseberry (picture taken 20th March) flowering that is in the garden hedge, again over 37 years old. Not sure why anyone would plant one there though. We have never had any fruit off it. I should probably take a cutting and plant in the garden to see what it it like.

[veggiechicken]

Strawberry flowers - one of several plants that are flowering now.

[roitelet]

Sunny Celandines today.

[Chrissyteacup]

First one is Japonica and the second one, sorry not Borage, perhaps VC will know.

[veggiechicken]

Alkanet, maybe?
