According to Swan's bible (the flora of northumberland) it grows in the Alnwick area as a garden escape. nice pictures. I am not really competetive but as the seasons progress I hope to post some specialist species that we have. We may be on the same latitude as Roxburghshire and Dumfries and Galloway but east of the Cheviots it is a couple of degrees cooler and the species reflect this. The good thing is some plants are at their northern limit here and some alpine species are at their southern limits which makes it more interesting.abbey meadowshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13293023923907992548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-27762129545062938902008-04-02T21:59:00.000+01:002008-04-02T21:59:00.000+01:00Unfortunately the owl stump is beside a narrow win...Unfortunately the owl stump is beside a narrow windy country lane. <BR/>If I'm tempted to take a photo there's the constant threat of a car (or worse) coming round the bend at any minute - which is embarrassing at the very least.Kingsdownerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12127225013640474483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749076668428822511.post-85974551548113341952008-04-02T13:49:00.000+01:002008-04-02T13:49:00.000+01:00Nice post!

That Butcher's Broom is certainly interesting...wonder what the real leaf looks like?
