Headache

The day started with one.   Thankfully an afternoon snooze helped see it off.

So, it's been a quiet day.   A few chores this morning, a short turn at pottery trying to master the wheel, that snooze.   A short evening turn at Aber cafe and a walk with Meg and John as darkness fell.   

Colchicum montanum, a small species that, much as the recent entry, flowers in late summer and early autumn.  In its native haunts, the Pyrenees, Spain and Portugal, it flowers when rain comes.   On my first mountain flower holiday I found it in seed, noticing the dry foliage crunching under foot.  I still grow the bulbs I raised from those seeds 27 years later .... but these are from a different seed source.   It's hardy outside but the flowers are eye-level to slugs which have already devoured the ones in the garden here :-/
