A bit like Burnham Wood, all of a sudden we are surrounded
Supposedly a plant that prefers woodland shade or under hedges at field margins
they leap up everywhere
From lurking at ground level they suddenly block your way
and hit you at eye level
They have plenty of spacious settings but in addition squeeze themselves into every available nook and cranny
No wonder they are so successful. Their intricate insides are equipped with visual and mechanical devices
to entice pollinators
who see them as perfectly designed charging ports
fitting like a glove
As one floret falls
another opens
while, as a by-product, providing us with visual splendour and a heady scent.
