All the photos were taken in the east end of the park, between the car park off Cherry Orchard Way and Pooh Sticks Bridge.
Many of the flowers have been blooming through April, May, June and July, though the photograph may only appear in one month.

Mystery Shrub
This unusual shrub, photographed by Friend Ron Patten, was identified as Spindleberry. We don’t see much of it in the park. Is it a native shrub or a garden escapee?
