In all my time botanising I'd never seen a white one before (or hadn't recognised it

).
Yes, not much flowering in northern England in the wild but garden plants are doing some weird things: have a
Cotoneaster just starting to flower; the
Jasminum nudiflorum, winter jasmine, is in full bloom already; the
Magnolia has only just stopped flowering. On the other hand, for the past three years our hellebores have started flowering in September but no sign of bloom yet. Poor plants have been confused by the weather this year ...

I wonder how much longer we will still be seeing wildflowers for, every week they seem to be diminishing - at least there is the fungi  .
