rarities


One of the great pleasures of walking repeatedly through the same places is the gradual accumulation of knowledge of what is in the environment, and learning to notice the subtle differences between seemingly similar things. There is only one place in the parish, as far as I know, where the rare pink variety of wild bugle grows, and this year there is only one flowering stem, but there it is! (With the normal bluer variety shown below for comparison).
