| Butterbur beside the path at Watery Lane. (last year) 19 April 2023 on an Eco-Explorers walk. |
First here is a picture from a (yes) sunny day last year on an Eco-Explorers Walk along Watery Lane.
It is 5 April 2024. I started posting Wildflowers of Settle 2024 onto Facebook this year on 1st April, posting them daily. 
Butterbur - Petasites hybridus.
We have had damp to very wet weather for the last three - six weeks. Most flowers look rather bedraggled. I took these photos today.
They re-tarmacced the footpath between Langcliffe and Stainforth last year. Here Dandelions and a few Butterbur plants have broken through the tarmac.
Butterbur is said to be dioecious- i.e. some plants have only male flowers (i.e. with anthers) and the other plants have only female flowers (i.e. can make seeds)
Here are photos from previous sunnier years.
