Thanks! Perhaps it's slightly harder for me to identity plants as I'm often finding them when they are small or isolated, rather than clumps, so I'm less sure what's typical or not - in this case, whether the sepals seemed long or not.
Thanks! It is such a challenge trying to count them - and it's hard for me to try to identify these from any other features!
Wood Speedwell flowers and leaves
A Wood Speedwell flower and leaves
I've also been seeing more Wood Speedwell plants in flower! #WildflowerHour
Germander Speedwell flowers
Germander Speedwell flowers
It seems to be a good time to find Speedwell plants in flower! More and more Germander Speedwell flowers are opening here and there, and one patch on a verge has grown rather large #WildflowerHour
A Common Vetch flower
Bush Vetch flowers
Vetchs have been starting to flower locally, I found Common Vetch and (I think) Bush Vetch #WildflowerHour
An unknown small white wildflower with five petals, perhaps Three-nerved Sandwort
I didn't think this was a cabbage (having five petals rather than four)... I was thinking it might be Three-nerved Sandwort? #WildflowerID #WildflowerHour

It's admittedly challenge to find different ways to photograph cabbages (Cuckooflower) #CabbageFamily #WildflowerHour
Wavy Bittercress flowers

More cabbages! I think this was Wavy Bittercress, with six stamens that are very hard to see #CabbageFamily #WildflowerHour

Crab Apple was in flower in this week #TreeFlowers #WildflowerHour
Some kind of Wintercress in flower
Thanks once again, especially as these are rather common plants, I expect! I have to admit that I wasn't able to understand different leaves having different types of lobes on different types of Wintercress (and I might not have captured the right views of the right leaves)...
Thanks! I see it now...! I've seen Yellow Pimpernel in that general area before, but in the autumn and with much more foliage, so I just couldn't make the connection now. Some of the area had been cleared recently, and I'm guessing that sunlight and warm weather inspired some new growth.

An unknown yellow wildflower, perhaps some kind of Wintercress
I found more wildflowers last week, but I'm still wondering what they might be, so I wonder if anyone has any ideas? #WildflowerID One might be some kind of Wintercress? The other almost feels like some kind of St John's-Wort but too early in the year?
Thanks! It's always nice to see wildflowers in sunlight and shade like this. And I only have a phone camera, so I have to make the most of the sunlight rather than using features of the camera - there's limited functionality, and most of the time it's a challenge to even have something in focus...!
Yay! The leaves were indeed quite shiny!
Ground Ivy flowers in the sunlight
Ground Ivy is curious, sometimes growing more close to the ground and sometimes growing more upright #WildflowerHour
Red Dead-Nettle in flower
This Red Dead-Nettle plant was looking very pink in the sunlight! #WildflowerHour
Wild Strawberry flowers and leaves
It's been nice to find little Wild Strawberry flowers here and there #WildflowerHour
Shining Cranesbill flowers and leaves
Shining Cranesbill flowers and leaves
Another new wildflower that I hadn't seen before! I think this was Shining Cranesbill #WildflowerHour
Yes, such a pretty lilac colour! I have been wondering when I might find any Wood Speedwell, and this was just in time for the weekly challenge!
Bluebell flowers
Bluebell flowers in the sunlight, around trees that are starting to leaf
There are many more Bluebell plants in flower this week, in and around the remnants of our ancient woodland #WoodlandPlants #WildflowerHour
Wood Speedwell flowers and leaves
I found new wildflowers this week! I think this was a Wood Speedwell plant, emerging on the edge of some woodland #WoodlandPlants #WildflowerHour
A white Wood Sorrel flower; the leaves have three separate heart-shaped leaflets
It was nice to find more Wood Sorrel this week #WoodlandPlants #WildflowerHour
Wood Anemone flowers in the sunlight
There are still some Wood Anemone flowering! #WoodlandPlants #WildflowerHour
