Although there aren’t many joys in winter, I found one nice thing today. By the lane is a row of sweet coltsfoot (winter heliotrope, Petasites fragrans) and they are starting to flower. They have a very sweet smell, like vanilla. The lane is muddy, therefore the flowers are dirty, but that does not diminish their perfume. The flowers are not beautiful – there is not a single bee or butterfly to attract. Neither do they produce seeds – there are no female flowers in Cornwall. They are not native flowers (they are from North Africa).
