I have to echo how magical this is. My days will begin more gently and naturally knowing that I am unfurling and rising at bindweed’s opening, rather than lurching awake afraid I've an intruder ('Oh no, all okay, it's just the Today programme coming on') or the terrified rousing that follows the emergency alarm clock. Buttercup opening sounds a real treat of a lie-in too.

I loved this. The way you combine information with lyricism is a master class in nature writing.
