I had two things on my mind today before I left the house that is to buy bread from the farmer’s market and check on the wildflowers still blooming in the mild December air. It was raining when I woke up but the weather app said it will stop around 11am and it did. Outside the rain droplets were hanging down from the trees like the best Christmas decorations. It felt fresh and warm.
I have checked on the snowdrops which have already produced the seed pods. I hope they will flower again in spring. There are lots of young shoots growing from the ground and still lots of green foliage but almost completely bare trees.

The raindrops create wonderful patterns and I love your Christmas comparison.
Getting into mood 🙂
What a lot you still have to look at. I hope the bread was a bloomer too.
It was 😊 still half left for lunch tomorrow.
I love all your flowers. Tansy is a weed where I live, it spreads rapidly and can take over the garden 🙂
Yes, tansy is weed here as well. I like its yellow buttons.
It’s amazing how many flowers you still have blooming. Your lovely, mild climate! I esp. liked the water droplets on the clover.
Thank you, yes quite few still around 😊 wish the clover photo was sharper though.
Lovely post to be able to share in December! We have the odd dandelion and daisies in lawns here, due to this years mild winter.
Forgot the daisies! It’s going to be again a mild week here.
I truly enjoyed this lovely post (as all the others) especially Id’s of all wildflowers. Unfortunately I don’t know them all. So this is very educative for me; thanks….
I’ll try to learn as well 😊
So many wildflowers in bloom! I still haven’t had the time to look here and see what there is but I don’t think there’ll be as many as you’ve found!
Yes they keep on going as it is still so mild and wet too.
Beautiful flower portraits!
Thank you!
wow, snowdrop flowering already over?! don’t think you can expect a 2nd flowering in spring. must be very warm where you live.
It has been very mild and the spring flowers started to pop out.
A beautiful bunch of wildflowers. I wish the red cranesbill grew around here – the one I know is a paler pink. It’s been mild in New England, but we just had snow finally. Wildflowers are months away.
Enjoy the snow!
I simply adore warm weather, so being able to find such a wide variety of thriving wildflowers in the middle of December is the ultimate luxury. Thank you for sharing these beautiful shots!
I adore warm weather as well 😊 must do January wildflower review! Still quite mild.
