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...

I had an acident with my big wildflower pot outside. It had dirty rainwater in it so I poured it out but I poured it too far and the big lump of soil with the seedlings still in it fell out. When I tryed to pick it up it started to crumble. But I put the lump back in before it collapsed and the seedlings fall out then I put abit of exstra soil in the pot to fill in the small missing gap and watered the around the soil and made it wet in where the gap was to make the soil glue together more easily. The seedlings are still in tact so So hopefully that saves the seedlings. Only one fell out but I planted it in my border. As for the red dead nettle aparantly even though they can be found to October they can be seen into November aswell
Snowdrops at Ickworth Park on 22nd Oct.
Spotted quite a few of these on a walk around Dunwich Heath a week ago, Fly Agaric I think?
