A wonderful all day visit to two gardens in Fife
On Thursday 21st July 2011
A pot of The Caley, the autumn gentian named after the RCHS for its bicentenary year, bred by Ian McNaughton and exhibited by Beryl, took the Forrest Medal at the Scottish Rock Garden Club's autumn show on 24 September.
Winter heliotrope, Petasites fragrans, is not shown in all wildflower books as it is not native. It is local in Scotland, more widespread in England, in locations where the ground is damp and often in woods. It is scented though relatively few flowers are produced especially in shade. Apparently our plants are all male so they do not set seed. However it can be invasive spreading by underground rhizomes. The rounded leaves show its relationship to the much larger butterbur but are present all year. It is sometimes known as sweet colt’s foot.
