‘I love to see the summer beaming forth
And white wool sack clouds sailing to the north
I love to see the wild flowers come again
And mare blobs stain with gold the meadow drain’ ~ John Clare. #BookWormSat

Spring has arrived and my pond sports a golden coronet of kingcups (Caltha palustris, a European native). In the dark water, life is stirring.

Marsh-marigold was very common before the general draining of land and had lots of different local names, not just Kingcups. Water-blobs, Pollyblobs and Gollins, to name a few; it was also called Mayflower and brought into the home on May evening for luck. #StoryPlants #WildflowerHour

Spring watch in the garden, post 9: a coronet of kingcups round the pond for the 80th birthday of our king! Perfect timing.

The pond is full of Kingcups in flower at the moment, making filming difficult as the movement of the plants in the breeze causes many false triggers of the camera.
I've installed a couple of water dishes by the pond - here are some of the visitors from yesterday...

For #WildflowerHour I took some photos in the sunshine yesterday afternoon (5 April) Kingcups or Marsh Marigolds (left) and opposite leaved golden saxifrage on the right. #NatureWriting
Leaves of flag are growing up among kingcups, which are in flower. There is green weed on the surface of the pond in the bottom left corner, grass in the bottom right corner. A boardwalk is near the top of the photo with greenery beyond it. There is moss at the top of the picture. A low-growing plant with yellowish green flower is in the sunlight near the centre of the picture. Buttercup leaves and grass are growing nearby.

The Kingcups/Marsh Marigolds (Caltha palustris) are coming into flower at Bat Willow Hurst, Herts this weekend. This one appears to have a smut fungus on one of its flowers. #WildFlowerHour

Kingcup (flowers virtually all year in the pond. My late mother took me to visit wild kingcups as a toddler - my first botanical safari.)
Single yellow daisy-like flower growing out of grey/green water.)

Everything seems to think it's finally spring in Glasgow, except the wind, which still has teeth that nibble and sometimes draw blood...
A clump of kingcups (marsh marigolds; Caltha palustris) at the edge of a pond. There are some green shoots in the background and a large stick beside the kingcups. The water is just visible.

Where can plants take you and how can you bring them to life on the page? Questions we're trying to answer in our next writing session @cubotanicgarden.bsky.social. #gardenwriting

Dippers and kingcups, aka marsh marigolds. Created with linocut, mono-print, mark making and digital collage. (One of the sights along a healthy chalk stream.)
