It's that time of year, the snowdrops for many of us will be in bloom closely followed by the crocuses.
Last week on my way home from work, I stopped of at Baddesley Clinton, a medieval moated house, where very often they have a good display of snowdrops, and the nearby St Michael's Church Baddesley Clinton, is also home to some brilliant natural floral displays.
I'll cut waffling and share the piccies.
A crocus complete with hoverfly, even in mid-February the insects have been busy!

Thank you James
Unknown said:Nice photos. I might have expected the snowdrops but it does seem early for hoverflies.
I have to agree with you regarding the hoverflies, but with the unseasonal mini heatwave, it's hardly surprising they've come out early.
Unknown said:Snowdrops are such cheerful little flowers and remind us that springtime is around the corner, particularly stunning when so many are planted in one place, Lovely set of photos Mike
I'm so lucky to have such an abundance of wild flowers relatively close by.
I'm hoping this year the daffs will put on a good display as they have in the past, though sadly last year, during the wet spell before the hot summer, they never really bloomed much.
