I took part in the Botanical Society of Britain & Ireland's (BSBI) New Year Plant Hunt this year – it’s fifth. Volunteers were asked to pick one day over the New Year weekend between Friday 1st and Monday 4th January 2016 and record all wild and naturalised plants (but not planted or garden species) in flower. On my six-mile route around Plumpton and East Chiltington I recorded 16 species in flower (see pic). Most of the flowers were along the road verges of Novington Lane and on the track from East Chiltington church. The only one I couldn't identify is the small yellow Asteraceae (see bottom right in the image).
