Creeping buttercup is our most familiar buttercup - the buttery-yellow flowers are like little drops of sunshine peppering garden lawns, parks, woods and fields.

Creeping jenny is a low-growing plant of wet grasslands, riverbanks, ponds and wet woods. It has cup-like, yellow flowers and is a popular choice for garden ponds.
Nature lovers are being invited to an event aimed at empowering North-East people to get involved in supporting wildlife.
The Wildlife Trusts say ambitious nature recovery should be focus at COP26
