A tight cluster of tiny white flowers with green leaves behind. Elder Sambucus nigra
Petal-less flowers of Elm (Ulmus) with many stamens with black tips, green at base and red higher up. This is a cluster of several flowers on a bare brown twig.
A solitary white flower of Wood Anemone (Anemone nemorosa) with a number of yellow anthers just visible. The background is predominantly the characteristic green leaves of the plant
A rosette of green leaves on bare earth. This is Sanicle, a member of the Carrot family, but with leaves atypical of the group. An indicator species of ancient woodland (in UK defined as wooded continuously since 1600 - but probably since prehistoric times).
Briefly joined the NWT #Nottingham group at Chilwell Dam Plantation, a fragment of ancient woodland on the edge of the city.
Particularly pleased to be see Sanicle in it's only known location in the city. A number of other Spring flowers were out: the odd […]

Two trunks of a large Beech tree that is covered in green moss reflect the sunlight in a woodland setting. The forest floor is covered in fallen brown leaves and the background is of green foliage with patches of blue sky showing to the far top left. Camera: iPhone 15 Pro
On a recent sunny day (yes there have been one or two) I took a walk in some local ancient woodland. This tree was wrapped tightly in a green blanket of moss as if waiting for the warmth to awaken it. Not yet, my friend. #ThickTrunkTuesday #Trees #AncientWoodland
