Here is the wood. Rea's wood runs south from where you see Dublin Road. The wood may be several 1000 years old

I cant promise anything. These plants now have special protection in N Ireland. It is illegal to be in possession of any part including seeds.

Locan Conservation Volunteers have a wild flower nursery. They might have some

And very nice it is, too.  Did your avatar always have that animation, Neil, or is that new?

Seen in a garden yesterday, I know it is a sin to covet them but I do.

I'm guessing I'll have a lot of these in a decade or two.  They don't exactly spread fast but they're relentless.

Good to know they don't spread as fast as the others, but is there a way to increase them quickly?
