Wood Anemones (Anemone nemorosa) are coming into flower alongside the Wild Daffodils (Narcissus pseudonarcissus) of Lesnes Abbey Wood in south-east London which I detail in my recent entry below. The white flowers (sometimes flushed with pink) are popping up here and there from the leaf litter and amongst the daffodils.
 In fact a further visit will be in order in a week or so because I can see that the patches of feathery foliage spread extensively; the slopes should be massed with starry flowers when in full bloom.
 The presence of A. nemorosa in such profusion is a good indicator that this is an area of ancient woodland that became marooned by the expansion of London. The species is said to spread at a rate of about 6 feet every hundred years so the Anemones of Abbey Wood have been here for a long time...
