Just when I think the #GreatOrme #Llandudno couldn't possibly get any prettier, it showcases beautiful scenes of sunlit glitter-kissed seas. #NorthWales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🤩

@Michell27802876 "little heart-shaped leaves" i never stop noticing that about violets

The woodland floor was strewn with violets today. Such pretty wildflowers with their little heart-shaped leaves. #WoodlandPlants #WildflowerHour

@botany_beck They certainly are!🫶

@Michell27802876 They are gorgeous aren’t they! 🥰

I dodged the showers yesterday to visit my favourite, Wood Sorrel, Oxalis acetosella. Tucked in amongst the Bluebells & Wood Anemones in a tiny fragment of ancient woodland. It was such a joy to see them! 🥰 #wildflowerhour #woodlandplants

@pam_mcinnes @TheJemster 💜😊

@Michell27802876 @TheJemster Beautiful 💜

@pam_mcinnes Oh that’s a beauty, Pam🤍 I never tire of looking at these- they’re stunning🤩

@Michell27802876 They're looking great this week.

The simple beauty of a Wood Anemone stopped me in my tracks. There were snowy drifts of them, glowing in the dappled sunlight 🤍 #WoodlandPlants #WildflowerHour

@LesleyTotten @wildflower_hour @NLFerries Lovely😍

Along the wall at #Scrabster Harbour on the way to #HolbornHeadLighthouse - Dandelion, Primrose, Ivy-leaved Toadflax, Celandine, Dog Violet, Wallflower and Coltsfoot @wildflower_hour #wildflowerhour #Hamanvoe = safe harbour @NLFerries

@Gillian24448105 They were so beautiful, Jilly! Thank you 🥰

@Michell27802876 Wow Michelle-those pics are stunning!! I'm so pleased you found them! 🥰😍

Wherever I turned, my local Anglesey woods were blooming this week! A small sample here include celandine (carpets of them), wood anemones, wild garlic, common dog violets, & blue, pink & white bells (Spanish or native, I'm not sure) #wildflowerhour #WoodlandPlants

@DrStargazerette A very kind person told me about some white violets and I saw those for the first time recently - they were something special! Photos from a few weeks ago

@Michell27802876 They are so pretty!

@HonestKeef Thank you Keith! They were very pretty 💜💜😊

@DrStargazerette 😁Perfect!

@Michell27802876 Snap! 💜🌿💜🌿

@DrStargazerette Hopefully they’ll turn their faces to the sun next time it makes an appearance🤍💚

@Michell27802876 Too rainy here for them to open

@Gillian24448105 Thanks so much Jilly! Also meant to say a big ‘thank you’ for the location of the white violets a few weeks back. I saw them and they were absolutely gorgeous!!

@Michell27802876 Thank you Michelle-and your pics are superb! 👌 📷 🏆

@DrStargazerette I’m not surprised! What a wonderful sight 🤩

@Michell27802876 I just couldn't tear myself away

And the most delicate white and pink blossom

@TheJemster Thank you very much for confirming, Jeremy! I was smitten with them💛💛

@Michell27802876 Lovely photos, Michelle! Glassily gorgeous Bulbous Buttercups! 💛💛

Looking like they’d been freshly gilded and polished, these flowers were almost too bright to look at. I’m not sure if they’re bulbous buttercup or something else, I just know that I love them. #WildflowerHour

@TheJemster There were so many, Jeremy! Lovely to behold 💜😊

@Michell27802876 What a wonderful sight! Completely captivating! 💜💜

@DrStargazerette 🫶💚💜

💜💚💜💚💜💚

@wildflower_hour @TheJemster Thank you for that information - they were gorgeous! 💛

@Michell27802876 @TheJemster The sepals look reflexed so look like Bulbous 💛
