Bah humbug
Was planning on a January flowering plant list anyway, and came across this - https://bsbi.org/new-year-plant-hunt
Apparently c600 species recorded in the first few days of January in any given year in the UK! Will see what I come up with anyway, and will try and contribute my sightings to the above. Have some plant id books buried in a box somewhere, and will try and sort photos later, but for now -
Jan 1st
Mabe to College Reservoir
1) Bramble
2) Dandelion Taraxacum officinale
3) Winter Heliotrope
Hydrangea
Fuchsia sp. (these two on roadside in woodland between College and Argal Res)
4) Hazel
5) Groundsel
6) Ivy-leaved Toadflax
Mabe Burnthouse - garden
7) Smooth Sow Thistle?
8) Ragwort
9) Annual Meadow Grass?
10) Spurge sp??
(Dandelion)
11) Hairy Bittercress?
12) Red Campion
13) Herb Robert type?
14) Speedwell type?
Comfrey sp. (unlikely to be a native)
15) Primrose
Will also have to decide/find out what is countable as native/naturalised/garden escapes! Saw a clover sp. in flower by the roadside a few days ago but perhaps was hidden under the 'snow' today.
