June’s herbologist reward, the daffodil and its folklore. At the time, winter was creeping in so it was so nice to choose a bright, spring associated flower 💐

Inktober Cont. Day Seventy Eight: Bulbocodium/ Hoop Petticoat Daffodils/ Narcissus Bulbicodium

The seventy eighth day of Inktober 2019. The flower for today is bulbocodium, a small, hardy, trumpet-shaped perennial that blooms in early to mid-spring. It can irritate the stomach if ingested as well as the skin. It is deer and rabbit resistant. It becomes dormant in the summer and requires dry conditions.

Monday I had more physio and ultrasound. Finally I feel my arm may heal one day soon and amputation will not be necessary. ;-) I also had an appointment with my chiropractor. It was a good day taking care of my body. I started working on my US taxes. They are always more complicated after a move and opening bank accounts etc. I also attended a Quinta meeting and am looking forward to visiting the Quinta at the end of this week. My sister introduced me to Wordle, so I’m enjoying this challenge and particularly like that I can only do one a day and not get distracted by doing it all day long, like Words with Friends.

Tuesday I went up to show Ronie the watering regime. Things are very dry. I wont be at all surprised if a few plants don’t make it. Then I went looking for muslin so I can make some marmalade this year. None to be found, so ordered it online and will do that next week. I finished my taxes in the evening.

Wednesday and Thursday passed in a blur of reading, working on the puzzle, Duolingo and checking on entry requirements to Portugal that changed Monday from needing an additional negative Covid test, back in line with the rest of the EU, just requiring the pass sanitaire.

Friday I flew to Lisbon. I had to go via Paris and had a two-hour layover at CDG. Thankfully the lounge is nice.

I met Susie at the car rental agency. As we were leaving the car park, we hit something on the passenger side doors. It was dark, and whatever we hit was low down. Not the best start to a two-and-a-half hour journey, in the dark, to the mountains of Portugal. We had a bit of trouble finding the Quinta. I didn’t have any signal at all for the last kilometre around the house. Eventually we arrived, around 22.00 and Stephan whipped up a delicious meal for us, and wine, of course, to settle the nerves.

Saturday was a grey day. We were hoping for a good rain; however we only had a bit; it’s already very dry here. We went up to Marvão and enjoyed a fabulous lunch at... The food was truly delicious. It was a lovely way to spend a grey, cold and blustery day.

In the afternoon, we drove over to Castelo d’Avida for a bit of a walk, enjoyed a local beer, and bought a few things for dinner.

Sunday we stayed around the Quinta, exploring and just relaxing. It was a beautiful day.

THE JOY OF SCENTED WINTER FLOWERS 

Now that the garden has started moving, there is more variety for flowers inside. Violas, grape hyacinths, jonquils, snowflakes, violets and hoop petticoat daffodils are mostly fragrant and this one element makes them so much more special than flowers from other times of the year. These fragrant blooms, and the wafting scent of the incomparable daphne - which is still flowering away - give us so much pleasure in the worst month of winter.

The delicate flowers of Narcissus bulbocodium 'Arctic Snow' (petticoat daffodil, hoop-petticoat daffodil) show the promise of spring. I grow them in containers near the front door so there are lots of opportunities to admire them but they are also excellent in meadows.

Note for flat dwellers

“I am not sure that those living in flats, with only a courtyard or roof garden to play with, are so badly off after all in these days when so many enthralling things may be grown in pots. Why, it’s the only safe way to grow some things. Directly you put them out in the garden some disease befalls them, a cat scratches them up, or the one slug that has escaped the Metabait attacks them. Take for instance that charming little rock plant, Aethionema, ‘Warley Rose’, I’ve just planted one out today, but I am sure it is safer in a pot. Think too, of the darling little miniature bulbs. There’s that little dwarf snowdrop and the hoop petticoat daffodils, and all the rest of them. Campanula isophylla and its white variety the slugs adore. If you can bear a hanging basket you will find this Campanula at its best grown thus, and can’t you imagine it cocking its snook at the slugs grovelling about the ground beneath” Edna Walling in A Gardener’s Log 1948 [My editon 1969]
