I was out walking with my wife this afternoon, in the vicinity of Wadebridge
in Cornwall.

I was struck by the number of "Campion" that I saw in flower. Also what I
thought were "Pignut" and on one plant, Blackberry flowers.

I take it this is unusual and possibly due to warmer winters. In our garden
and in gardens in the vicinity the daffodils are showing, and that is surely
early?

Down further west, in Helston I think, someone on the CornishWildlife groups
reported frog spawn ten days or so ago.

At this time of year they may well be late, rather than early, flowers.
A pot marigold has just flowered in my allotment.

A few years back all sort of weedy composites were in flower into late
November at least.
