A fabulous day...

Last spring was my first in Cornwall, and I was lucky enough, on Godrevy Head, to find a plant I knew of, but had never seen before, AFAIR. Spring squill, Scilla verna. There were about a dozen I located in one small area, but nowhere else.

I got up to the Head, yesterday, for the first time this year.

Spectacular, but my biggest surprise was the squill. On the way up, there were little clumps of them, here and there, but when I got onto the Head, it was wall-to-wall squill. 10,000s of them. It was almost impossible not to walk on them. I took some pics, but nah!.. not good enough.

I did find one small area, no more than 12"-18" sq., where there was a white one, and some that looked somewhat paler than normal.


I have checked on line, and my books, but no mention of a white variant.

Anyone else?

Fof

ps The seals in Mutton Cove were also enjoying the sun.
