Posted by Peter Llewellyn on 9/10/2006, 8:27 pm, in reply to "March flowers" In Cheshire I would always have seen Ranunculus ficaria (Lesser Celandine) by March 1st and you might find some out on the banks of a stream or river where its warmer. Other than that there arec things like grasses which hang on. Dactylis glomeratus (Cock's-foot) and Arrhenatherum elatius (false Oat-grass) I would expect to find. If the weather isn't too bad you should be able to find up to 20 or 30 species - the First Week hunt of the Wild Flower Society often produces more but much further south.

Petasites alba (White Butterbur) is very early flowering and Petasites fragrans (Winter heliotrope) will be still hanging on (Dec/Jan flowerer).
