Settle Wildflowers Day 103: Snowdrops and Green Hellebore

21 Jan:

January and February are a thin time for wild flowers in Yorkshire, after the last  "New Year Plant Hunt" flowers of last year have died off.. 

However, here are some flowers in the Friends Meeting house on 21 Jan photographed after a Settle Hub Support Group.  Yes they are garden plants but they could escape...

By March there is a riot of plants in this garden.. but that is for another day

And  while you are here, Look at two lichens: 

Porpidia tuberculosa (Cigarette Ash Lichen) on the gritstone capstones of the wall

And looking up to Castleberg Crag there is Aspicilia calcarea with its big white patches
