December may seem like a quiet, colourless month for wildflower lovers, but look more closely and a surprisingly rich cast of plants is still performing. From cheerful shaggy soldier, red valerian and scarlet pimpernel to the lingering blooms of toadflax, feverfew and herb Robert, as many as thirty to a hundred species can be discovered with a bit of effort. Escapees from imaginative gardens—pot marigolds, bellflowers, evening primroses and periwinkles—add extra splashes of brightness. Hoar frost transforms teasels and hogweed into glittering sculptures, while fresh green leaves of nettles, cow parsley and chickweed hint at the year to come. Even elusive plants like Persian speedwell, Oxford ragwort and the strange spikes of Great horsetail have their moment. Return on 09-Dec for the full story!
