Flower Fairy Spotting

The Celandine Fairy


Before the hawthorn leaves unfold,
Or buttercups put forth their gold,
By every sunny footpath shine
The stars of Lesser Celandine.

  1. Lovely! Celandines lined the banks of the lane I walked along to school as a child, so I have always loved them. They are almost over now in our garden but have been flowering for several weeks.
