Some time ago, I noticed lots of odd flowers in the banks of the stream down Longmead Road, noticed for the record at reference 1. A notice in which I give no credit to FIL, who was, I think, responsible for tracking down the name of the plant in question, butterbur, from a flower I had brought home for his inspection, using a book from his small stash of handy reference, brought down from Exminster.
This morning they are back again, with dozens of them in the banks. The two illustrated are on the small side, but have the virtue of being on the verge, rather than down the banks, where I could get at them with no danger of getting wet or worse.
