I've started recording the wildflowers in my garden for the Botanical Society of Britain and Ireland (BSBI) Garden Wildflower Hunt. Some are common 'weeds' - Ivy-leaved Speedwell, Bittercress - that I am forever removing from the flower beds. Others are favourites - Cuckoo Flower, Marsh Marigold - that I try to encourage in my garden wild patch and around the pond. I've recorded over 50 species so far but expect to get at least 20 more as the season progresses.
