Anxious times but today was the most perfect spring day. I headed to Lesnes Abbey Wood in South-East London where the Wild Daffodils grow...

 Under the bare trees there are drifts of our native Narcissus pseudonarcissus.
 

 Abbey Wood has long since been encircled by the expansion of the city but the Wild Daffodils still flourish in sight of the central London skyline.

 It looks like they flowered quite early this year. In parts of the wood they're starting to be fade but around them a carpet of Wood Anemones is coming into full flower.

 Anemone nemorosa is another native of our ancient woods. And all around I saw the fronds of thousands upon thousands of Bluebells; a tide of azure blue will soon sweep through the trees.
