Butterbur

Very many thanks to Miranda for the first Wildflower Week challenge of 2024. I'd intended to start with a cowslip plant from the garden but I saw a huge patch of butterbur and thought I might not see it again this year. It was growing on the riverbank just where I walked this morning. 

It was a good walk to the outdoor shop. Good in the sense of the number of steps achieved but not the prettiest of places. It would have been a drier journey in the car but what is the point in taking it out when Flora has to be exercised anyway. I would definitely have missed the butterbur if I'd been driving. 

It's a Wednesday off childcare today as the girls are away with their mum and dad. They've had a lovely few days in Fife. However, we'll all be together tomorrow if things go to plan and that's going to be so much fun.
