Lathyrus vernus
21st April 2006
The prettiest of little spring peas. Tiny curled brown stems wriggle from the ground like so much fluff from an earthy navel, and then overnight they transform into elegant cool green shoots
sporting delicate little flowers. A delightful little plant.
(I note that I have called it "little" three times in succeeding sentances, which is the inescapable truth.)
