Plant of the Day

Tuesday 1 April 2025

In a partially shaded border in St. Ninians Garden community garden, Dunkeld, Scotland, the flamboyant Corydalis solida (solid-rooted fumewort, bird in a bush, fumewort) was flowering. This tuberous perennial is summer dormant so the grey-green, divided leaves appear in spring with racemes of pink flowers though they can sometimes be brick red, purple or white. The plant grows best in a well-drained moderately fertile soil.

A couple of weeks ago we visited the little town of Dunkeld in Perthshire in Scotland - it's a lovely little place and also home to a fantastic bakery by a former Great British Bakeoff contestant! 😂 Dunkeld is probably most famous for it's beautiful nature walks though, in particular The Hermitage walk which takes in the very impressive Black Linn waterfall! 😍 We managed to catch the last of the autumnal beauty before this week's snow came! 😂 Hope you enjoy!

92-2813 - River Tay nap

On our first day in Dunkeld (before checking in to our hotel and after our lunch) we visited Dunkeld Cathedral and then sat by the river with this glorious view of the bridge over the river Tay. This bridge was built between 1805 and 1809 by Thomas Telford – a Scottish engineer most famous for a cast iron arch bridge that crosses the River Severn in Shropshire. After checking into to our hotel we…

How did they get all the way here from Canada?

I’ve never been to Canada.

Aha!

(from The Iconostasis of Anxiety)

Certain images from this unusual iconostasis were removed at some point in history and have been lost for centuries - either that or they didn’t fit in the pamphlet, available now from Blueprint Poetry and so are being recycled here as part of an intrusive media push - you decide. This panel is depicts the somewhat unorthodox Patriarch, Ossian.

In the old days by Dunkeld and especially around Fortingall horses were born at dawn of the first rays and were so tiny that Grainne or Deirdre or some such wise wifie could catch them in nets and liquidise them for smoothies for Diarmid or Nechtan or merely Connor MacFungus of the Clan MacFungus but if you left them by noon they would grow hands or by hands and be as high as a shrub on Shetland but if you wanted to get anywhere you had to leave it till teatime for which we had powsowdie, poached salmon and nuts, whole hazelnuts, sou’s lugs, and sair heids, unless it was cloudy - wasn’t it always cloudy, asked Goethe - it was, maist drumlie, and those mournfu days gave birth tae pterosaurs, transparent during the hours of daylight and nae bigger than a coffee table, but jubilant as craws on the battlefield at dusk - and what if it rained, asked Ramírez, for I hear the climate ish that way inclined, then the horses wad turn to kelpies and many men were drownded from ferrying the streams on kelpies - unless they were selkies themselves said Borges, who knew a thing or two about the hielans and also the helados, that is true, answered the aged aged man, many’s the night I’ve lain on a rock happit in the sodden plaid of dulse wi a turf for a pillow tae evade the redcoats and listened tae the sang of them that were lassies on the land and worse things at sea that went hi gee up ma cuddie and gin you didna have a ride on a kelpie they would grow large as an auld tin kirk and at midnight they would brust and in the dawn there would only be a penny ride of Champion the Wonder Horse and that would need plugged intae the electric and if Pilate was here he would tell you himself, I’m sitting right here said Pilate

In this community garden in Dunkeld, Scotland, the Muscari latifolium (broad-leaved grape hyacinth) was creating a display. This perennial has a single leaf to each bulb, with deep blue-black flowers, topped by a crown of pale sterile flowers.
