Macro Monday: May 16
Here we have a rare British native plant. I do not think it is found wild in Ireland but I could be wrong. I first saw it in woods at the foot of the North Downs in Surrey and have loved it ever since. I was excited beyond measure to buy it at Garden Show Ireland last weekend. Ironically it was from a nursery that had travelled over the sea from Scotland. So it has travelled from Scotland to Northern Ireland, is not in Co. Wexford and will be moving with me to England (via Wales)!
Can you tell what it is? (apart from well travelled)

Is it Paris quadrifolia?
It is indeed 🙂 well done
Think you are right, Luce. I think terra Nova Gardens in Co. Limerick have them for sale at present, so maybe not to far to travel to get one.
Luce was right!
Guessed Clare without the L, but forgot to post; can’t do today’s
Well done 🙂
Not a clue. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one.
It is a bit of a tricky one if you don’t know it! All will be revealed tomorrow!
