Primroses, coltsfoot and a bug

To the Nature Trail at nearby Hinksey Heights Golf Club. This is maintained by pupils of Peers School, Oxford, soon to become the Oxford Academy with marvellous new buildings - they do a great job.

Some wonderful primroses in the woods, two large clumps. They've been there for the past two years to my knowledge, oddly they haven't spread at all, no new clumps and the only ones in the woods that I've seen. I met a lady walking her dog who told me primroses have a scent - she's right, indeed they do, very pleasant.






Beside the lakes on the path is an area of coltsfoot, where a little rivulet runs. They seem to like this wet area, not growing beyond it here, though my flower book makes no reference to any such preference. I don't know what the little bug is.
