What a lot of clever wild flower hunters we have amongst us. When we launched our challenge for the winter months, #thewinter10, a fair few people wondered if it was really possible to find ten wild plants in flower each week. But it turns out that this is easily possible. Here are some of your finds in this challenge, which will run until the end of February:
