After a successful thread started back in March 2020 at the start of the first lockdown, its probably about time to start a new one for 2022. Thank you to all for your contributions, no matter how small or big, each has been valuable and interesting, and hopefully you will continue to contribute to the 2022 thread.
The old thread: Plants, flowers and shrubs; Share your photos here can be viewed on the link below

I'll kickstart this thread with some snowdrops that have come out in flower, crocuses will be out in many places soon, and then daffodils, and many more to follow throughout the year, and it will be nice to see what wild or garden plants, flowers or shrubs you come across on your wanders or around your garden. Without these plants, flowers and shrubs, nature would struggle to survive, they all a part of the valuable cycle of life, insects need them, birds need the insects, and so on through to the mammals,
I mentioned daffodils, these shoots are growing very well among the snowdrops, and it won't be long before the bluebells start showing shoots...

Ash. These black parts are buds.
The last visit to Baddesley Clinton for the daffodils, which are now past their best and getting ready to make way for the bluebells.
I always find this gate photogenic, so apologies for the non-daff piccie....
Now the daffs....
That'll be it from here for 2022, but the garden daffs are blooming nicely, and piccies to follow soon, weather permitting.
I went for a drive through Standish woods on Haresfield. Cause it was mysterious and misty I couldn’t see the flowers and take pictures of them but on the way back i took this in the back seats while the car was going
I took this When the sun was setting before dark Its growing in the water drainage pipe or Gutter on the roof

Exspeacially since the weather has gone from Warm and sunny to cold and cloud or rainy this should cheer anyone up if they are haveing or have a cold and miserable day. Its the only flower I managed to get a picture of before my phone ran out. The Bumblebees and Butterfly’s have been pollinating this flower since the bramble flowers havnt come up yet that alot of them like there. I hope you enjoy it.
