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...

Daffodils in the wild
Some from the garden yesterday.
The red robin (photina by its proper name) looking good in the sun...
Apple buds appearing, and soon to follow apple blossom...
The cherry blossom, after a slow start, is really raging through, from nothing to this in a matter of a few days....
PS, don't be fooled by the blue skies, I was just lucky at the time, but generally it was cloudy and very windy, both of which made it challenging to get the photos....
Flowers from a chilly walk this morning:
