I have never seen as many dandelions that there is this year, must have

I think it's the cold weather having held them back and now it's turned
warm they are all coming out together, a short but spectacular season.
I still wonder why we never see a white sport amongst them.

I think they were all waiting for blast of sunshine and have all
flowered more or less simultaneously. About the same numbers as in
previous years here, but perhaps more in flower at once.

Wood anenomes and snakeshead fritillaries are also out in the wild.

Sloes are out, some cherry out. Pairs almost out.
Apple blossom still a fair way off though.
