Rosebay (aka fireweed epilobium angustifolium) , elderflower (sambucus nigra) in full bloom in spite of the weather, or this pretty but (to me) unknown type of tanacetum or the gorse flowers (Ulex europeus), so delicate and vibrant , even the amble moss (sphagnum) or the pearly web of un of our spiders (tetragnatha extensa) all of them make springtime in our hearts.
