Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Orchis mascula 'There with fantastic garlands did she come
Of crowflowers, nettles, daisies and long purples: That liberal shepherds give a grosser name; But our cold maids do dead men's fingers call them.' The words Shakespeare places in Hamlet's mouth, describing Ophelia, refer to these Early Purple Orchids seen here growing on a coastal field boundary. There was a flourishing colony of a dozen or so on this bank but nowhere else. I did wonder if the turf had been brought from elsewhere. |
