We have been getting lots of plants flowering in the autumn: clover (above) and nettles, dandelions and willowherb (see below). What is odd is that there plants flower in the spring, not the autumn. I am putting this now to the recent run of warm weather. Even my honey bees have been out in force. The danger is that these plants will put in lots of their energy and nutrition into flowers that will die off before they are able to produce seeds over the coming weeks as we move towards the winter. That could mean fewer flowers next spring.
