Just a tulip in the sun... you'd think it was extra-terrestrial.

Love that cottage! It would cheer me up too.
Couple of front gardens up the road gone wild, through neglect or benign encouragement, but the funny thing is, they've gone separate ways: one all bluebells and daisies, t'other a sea of tiny blue flowers and dandelions.

I've got these in my front garden, probably a present from the local birds, technically they're weeds but they provide a lovely splash of early colour so theres no plans to remove them.

I would love some but you can't dig up wild flowers

I believe Cowslips only have legal protections in Northern Island.
In the rest of the UK, i should therefore be fine to pick the flowers or even to dig up the plants as long as you're the the landowner of have their consent.
Personally I'd keep the plants but would consider making wine from the flowers

Nope, technically `a weed is a plant out of place' so if you like it there it is not a weed, its a flower. So well done.
I wonder if they are Violets, cannot quite see on the photo.

I often leave weeds to flower then remove them before they set seed, then sometimes I'll think no I like that and either leave it where it is or move it to a different location, with these Cowslips I had one come up a few years ago and its staying where it is, and I had a new plant come up this year and that ones been moved. A few years ago I started a patch of Cone flowers, when they came back the following spring there was a stranger amonst them, a Valerian, theres a strip of grownd down the side of the shed that nothing thrives in so it got put in there and I've left it alone to fend for it's self and now the valerians still there along with stuff thats self seeded in and an assortment of common weeds, it just gets tidied up about once a year.

I've got some in my lawn, started with a single bloom a few years ago, no idea where it came from, they are slowly spreading over time and becoming more numerous. Every year I mow around them until they go over. I might try and get a picture of them.
