Scurvy grass by the A12 Scurvy grass likes salty conditions and by March-April the sides of the main roads here have little white mats of it as a result of winter salt-spreading.  It seems to spread wherever grass is short beside the A-roads, but is far less common along lanes where presumably winter gritting is less frequent.

Bluebells in Carlton churchyard Carlton churchyard is overgrown and its soil is relatively undisturbed: perhaps as a result of this its bluebells flower slightly earlier than the others in the area.

Scurvygrass next to the A12, Benhall Scurvygrass thrives in slightly salty conditions and in the early spring the sides of the main roads in this area are splashed with white patches of these little flowers, reflecting how the main roads were salted during the winter to counteract ice.
