A few spring flowers
Having spent five years trying to eradicate lesser celandine from a dark and dank narrow north facing border under a bay window I now understand the beauty of this earliest of spring flowers. Now that I'm gardening in a hedge and woodland bordered field, I get to see the plants that have come in from the wild and established themselves just where they like it. The celandine creeps out from underneath the hedges and trees; no wonder it loved that horrible dark bed in Oxford. I should have learned to love it as it was just about the only thing that would grow in that space.
