Plant of the Day
Saturday 4 March 2023
In the lawn outside a croft on the small island of Shapinsay, Orkney, these cheerful Crocus flavus subsp. flavus (yellow crocus, bottle-flowered crocus, Dutch yellow crocus) were flowering. There maybe a cold snap coming but spring is just around the corner.

Plant of the Day
Tuesday 14 March 2023
In a polycrub on the island of Shapinsay, Orkney, are thriving Camellia sinensis (tea) plants which were raised from the seeds of a Georgian cold tolerant variety. The owner Lynne Collinson has worked in collaboration with Orkney College's Agronomy Institute to create what is probably the UK's most northerly tea plantation. Recently I helped prune the tea with Lynne, my friend Rosemary and helped by Patch, so hopefully there will be more packets of rare and delicious Norse Pilgrim tea this season.
