Bath Asparagus. How blessed we are here in the West Country to have such a locally abundant herb (yet globally extremely rare plant) grow in the hedgerows around Bath, verges of roads and in Farleigh Wood?
As with many things in seeming abundance, I had not paid much attention to these spikes of buttery stars before seeing one growing at the bottom of our garden here at Wood Cottage. Further investigation showed how rare on a world scale this plant actually is and so it is with a ridiculous level of excitement that I see them every June, and thank my lucky Bath Asparagus stars that they sprout with such vigour.
