Wildflowers on
Benevenagh |
|
|
The way to our house is an ancient mountain track, the banks of which
are covered in wildflowers for
most of the year. These pages are being written to celebrate those
little beauties. This is not an
expert guide but is meant to show just how beautiful and varied our
native wildflowers are.
Neither of the contributors is a botanical expert. Meg knows a lot about flowers and learns more every day and Jochen feels sure that he would know a plant when he sees one. Hence, if any readers know more than this and would like to share their knowledge, please don't be shy and e-mail us. Our selection is one based on beauty. If you happen to be a photogenic wildflower and live on Benevenagh, you have a good chance of appearing in these pages. Many of these flowers are tiny and look much larger in the photograph. Investigators of the real thing are urged to bring a magnifying glass - and a large one at that! |
