Lily challenge-the highlights

A host of golden daffodils is this week’s highlight and featured image, fittingly from the heart of Wordsworth country!

A beautiful shot of our native wild daffodil Narcissus pseudonarcissus ssp pseudonarcissus taken at Grizedale by Wildflowerhour founder @issybryonyh

This gorgeous shot of the Snake’s-head Fritillary, Fritillaria meleagris was taken by Wildflowerhour member @JoAnnunaki

@potager_cook found Allium triquetrum flowering in North London, a pretty but invasive alien species.

The curious Butcher’s Broom, Ruscus aculeatus photographed by @KateGold24

After the recent significant  reclassification of the Lily family, Yellow Star-of-Bethlehem, Gagea lutea, now considered by Stace, to be our only native member of the Liliaceae. This shot taken by @Huffy_Bird

Finally, several of you found bluebells just coming into bloom. This lovely shot of our native bluebell Hyacinthoides non-scripta is by @LeifBerwedsen

This week’s #wildflowerhour really felt as if Spring is here at last!

The rest of your fabulous #lilychallenge finds can be seen in the collection below.

Thank you so much for taking part!
