Plant of the Day

These deep-maroon purple flowers edged with white may well be the cultivar Tulipa 'Jackpot' or Tulipa ‘Alexander Pushkin’ (tulip). These blooms seemed a great plant association with the aniseed-scented perennial Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, myrrh, sweet bracken, sweet chervil, sweet fern, sweet Mary) contrasting both form and colour.

The white umbel flowers of Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, anise, British myrrh, great chervil, sweet bracken, sweet fern) are over now but the seed heads make a feature in the wild garden

Plant of the Day
Saturday 6 May 2023
In a sheltered corner of the Marengo Garden, Orkney, the Myrrhis odorata (sweet cicely, anise, garden myrrh, great chervil, sweet bracken, sweet fern, sweet Mary) is flowering. This umbellifer can be recognised by the occasional white splash on some of the leaves which are both sweet to the taste and have the flavour of aniseed.
