Yellow is the colour of Easter which will soon be upon us. Early spring flowers are often yellow a colour said to be attractive to the insect pollinators at this time of the year.



Marsh marigold in Hartland woodland


A walk in our local woods has revealed many of these just coming into flower such as Lesser celandine, Opposite-leaved golden saxifrage, Marsh marigolds and of course Primrose.

Marsh marigolds are thought to be some of our oldest plants; they survived the ice age!
